Frequently asked questions

I sell wallpaper, laminates and vinyl flooring — ATECO code 47.53.20 or building materials 47.52.32?
Yes, finished wall and floor coverings such as wallpaper, laminates and vinyl are 47.53.20. Raw building materials like bricks, cement and tiles fall under 47.52.32. The distinction is ready-to-apply finish versus base material.
Where do cork floors and pre-finished parquet go?
Under 47.53.20. The heading also covers cork floor coverings, so pre-finished parquet and floating floors belong here as coverings. Carpets and rugs, however, have their own code, 47.53.11.
If I sell coverings and also arrange installation, do I stay on 47.53.20?
Usually yes for the sale. The code covers the retail trade of the covering; when fitting becomes the predominant activity, the business moves into specialist construction work. For a shop selling parquet, laminates and wallpaper, 47.53.20 applies and, for carpets, 47.53.11.
