Comparability

Comparability - geographical

This statistics is not based on EU-regulation and is not carried out in a comparable format in other countries.

Comparability over time

Since 2022 are the enterprises in Enterprise groups in Denmark based on the new activity threshold, which includes economically active enterprises. It is therefore not directly comparable to the previous time series covering 2009-2021.

From the reference year 2022, active enterprises, and thereby economically active enterprises, are identified based on an activity threshold. An enterprise will be considered active if it has a work effort above ½ full-time equivalent or turnover, purchases of goods, imports, exports, added value, assets and payroll turnover above a certain threshold. For each industry, the activity threshold is based on the turnover for enterprises with fewer than three full-time employees. Enterprises that own enterprises, or that are jointly registered for VAT or employees with enterprises that are active, are also considered active.

From the reference year 2022 the statistic has also been expanded to include sector A: Agriculture, forestry and fishing, in addition to already included sectors.

The sector expansion and change in activity threshold have both been contributing factors to an increase in the number of enterprises and enterprise groups in the statistics.

Coherence - cross domain

Enterprise groups in Denmark is comparable with The general enterprise statistics, when the criteria mentioned is taken into consideration.

Coherence - internal

Overarching groups of number of enterprises that are part of enterprise groups and their number of employees, are calculated based on the underlying detailed information on the individual enterprises, which secures an internal consistency.
