Among construction industries, most growth was recorded in building construction, where 13.0 per cent more turnover was accumulated than one year earlier. The turnover of specialised construction activities went up by 7.5 per cent. The turnover of civil engineering fell by 2.2 per cent.
The sales volume of construction enterprises grew in May to July in building construction by 9.5 per cent and in specialised construction activities by 4.1 per cent. The sales volume of civil engineering went down by 4.0 per cent.
The volume index of enterprises’ sales is calculated by removing the effect of price changes from the turnover index series.
Changes in the Tax Administration’s self-assessed tax data have not so far had an effect on the data of turnover indices
The effects of the changes in the Tax Administration's self-assessed tax data have been analysed in Statistics Finland’s turnover indices. Based on the analyses, the changes have thus far not been found to have significant effects on enterprises’ VAT reporting in terms of statistics production. More information about this in Changes in the periodic tax return data used in turnover indices .
