If your accounting follows the calendar year, the information should pertain to the fiscal year 2023. If you have a broken fiscal year, the information should pertain to the fiscal year that ended in 2023 (2022/2023).

Where do the pre-printed details come from?

We pre-print some details on the form that have been retrieved from your tax declaration. If you provided information to Business Economics last year, some of these details are also pre-printed. If they are incorrect, please adjust the details to the correct ones.

Are estimated values acceptable?

We are aware that the form contains many rows to choose from and that it can sometimes be difficult to allocate revenues and costs. In these cases, the information can be estimated.

What should we do if our company is closed down?

Try to fill in the form based on the information you have access to, and write a comment about when the company was closed down. You are also welcome to contact us by phone or email.

How do we know that the information has been received?

When you submit the information via the web form, you will receive a confirmation that the information has been submitted. If you receive this confirmation, you can be sure that the information has been received.

Can we fill in a paper form instead?

We no longer send out paper forms, contact us if you need one.

Can I get paid for providing information about my company?

No. Providing information is a statutory obligation for companies and organizations, therefore no compensation is paid. Neither SCB nor any other authority has been granted funds to compensate companies for submitting information to official statistics.
