Outcome

Enter the figures: the result appears immediately.

Thresholds under art. 2:395a to 2:398 DCC. An entity falls in a class if it meets at least two of the three criteria; the class only changes after two consecutive balance sheet dates (art. 2:395a(1), 2:396(1) and 2:397(1) DCC).

Explanation

Your size class determines almost everything: which parts the annual accounts must contain, whether a management report is needed, whether the audit requirement applies and how much you make public. The class follows from three criteria, balance sheet total, net turnover and average number of employees, where you only switch class if you meet at least two of the three criteria of that other class in two consecutive financial years.

How to use the tool

  1. Enter the balance sheet total, net turnover and average number of employees for the current financial year.
  2. Do the same for the previous financial year: the two-year criterion needs both years.
  3. The calculator shows the class per year and the outcome after applying the continuity criterion.
Legal notice: this information is general in nature and does not replace tax or legal advice or an accountant's review. The accuracy and completeness of the annual accounts remain the responsibility of the board (art. 2:362(1) DCC).
