Concepts
  • ECONOMIC ACTIVITY:  Combination of resources such as labour, raw materials, equipment, etc., are joined, leading to the creation of specific goods or services. Regardless of the factors of production integrating the good or service produced, all activities generically imply an input of products (goods or services), a production process and an output of products (goods or services).
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  The length of time for which data are collected, e.g. a specific day, month or year.
  • LEGAL FORM:  A classification given by law, which can take a number of forms: civil associations (public or private, profit- or non-profit-making) and companies.
  • ENTERPRISE:  Legal entity (natural or legal person) that is an organisational unit producing goods or services, which benefits from a certain degree of autonomy in decision-making, especially for the allocation of its current resources. An enterprise carries out one or more activities at one or more locations.
  • SUPPLIES AND SERVICES FROM THIRD PARTIES:  All the costs for the purchase of consumer goods that are not stocks and of services supplied by third parties to the unit under consideration.
Definition In 2004, the methodology of the Integrated Business Accounts System has been changed, as starts to make use of tax data provided by the tax authorities. Consequently, the results from the publication "Enterprises in Portugal 2005" reflect those important improvement that match with a better coverage of the business population, thus not directly comparable with the results published for previous years. The two major changes were: - Inclusion of the independent workers; - The use of exhaustive information, instead of using extrapolated data from Annual Business Survey.
