7,474 new enterprises in June

The number of VAT-registered enterprises increased by 2,514 units in June 2021 compared to May 2021.

That is 7,474 new enterprises, 971 re-registrations and 5,931 de-registrations. The three main sectors contributing to the increase this month are professional, scientific and technical activities, construction and administrative and support service activities.

First registrations

With 7,474 new enterprises in June 20211, first registrations in all sectors combined are up by 32.8% compared to June 2020. That is 1,848 more births than last year in the same period.

Re-registrations

As for re-registrations, all sectors combined, we observe a 28.6% increase compared to last year, or 216 additional enterprises.

De-registrations

In June 2021, the number of de-registrations is 13.8% higher than in June 2020, or 717 units.

Evolution of the population of VAT-registered units

The growth of the population of VAT-registered units over a year is still strong in June 2021. We saw a 4.6% increase of the whole VAT-registered population, i.e. 47,185 more units than in June 2020.


The methodology of this statistic has been slightly revised as of January 2021. Comparisons with previous years should therefore be interpreted with caution when a small number of enterprises are involved.
