Category: Structural business statistics

The part of turnover derived from the trading activities of purchase and resale of the unit. This corresponds to the sales of goods purchased by the unit in its own name and for its own ac-count and resold in the same condition in which they were purchased, or after such labelling, packaging and wrapping as is usually practised in distributive trade enterprises.

Resales of this type may be broken down into:
- resales to other traders, professional users, etc. (wholesale sales);
- resales to households or small-scale users (retail sales).

These activities are classified in section G of NACE Rev. 1 (except the maintenance, repair and fee or contract based wholesaling groups 50.2, 50.4, 51.1 and 52.7). http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:1998:344:0049:0080:EN:PDF
