Methodology

Methodology

Type of data: Administrative data capture

Data collector: Internal Revenue, Statistics New Zealand Mode of collection: Data system capture

Frequency of collection: Updated quarterly with the latest data from the BR and LEED. Updates are applied at the time when new information is made available to Statistics New Zealand, and, where possible, backdated to the point at which the change in status occurred. From a practical perspective, these maintenance rules imply that under both the BF and BR regimes some variables appearing “annually” on the LBF fact table in the LBD are actually observed (updated) less frequently for many firms. [pbn_employee_count] is updated quarterly.

Data Quality Editing: Many non-profit organisations are not required to file an annual tax return but will still be recorded as live in the CR. Trusts with no business income are classified to the household sector. These units are removed from the BR population if they do not show any tax activity within 12 months of registration.

Missing data: none specified

Other quality issues: [enterprise], [pbn] data will have approximately a 2-3 month lag. For example, data was available up to April 2014 after the completion of the June 2014 refresh.
