The sales volume of construction enterprises grew by 15.1 per cent year-on-year in the March to May period. In the corresponding period, the sales volume of building construction enterprises increased by 21.2 per cent. Specialised construction went up by 12.2 per cent. The sales volume of civil engineering in turn fell by 2.4 per cent in the March to May period.
The volume index of enterprises’ sales is calculated by removing the effect of price changes from the turnover index series.
Reversed liability for value added tax in construction services was introduced in April 2011. The revision causes changes to the periodic tax return data used as data sources for these statistics starting from the data for April 2011. Statistics Finland will assess during autumn whether the tax reform requires any change measures in statistics production.
