964.115 enterprises in August 2018

At the end of August, 964,115 VAT-registered enterprises were active in Belgium, of which 45.6% were natural persons, and 54.4% were legal persons.

The number of VAT-registered enterprises increased, but at a lower growth rate compared to last month.

This is mainly due to the lower number of registrations, both new and re-registrations, in August. On the other hand, the number of cessations also fell sharply compared to the previous month. This trend is in line with the figures of previous years for the same period.
