Sectors of activity

The main activity of each company is obtained from the annual VAT return, from the information on the headings of the annual economic activities tax, and from the main activity assigned in the Census of Large Companies. Based on this information, from the 2009 financial year onwards, the Labor Market and Pensions statistics in Tax Sources present a new sectoral classification harmonized with the new National Classification of Economic Activities (CNAE 2009):
