Data collection
1. The annual income statements of enterprises constitute a major source of structural
information about the entire field of enterprises in business.
Each year, (at the start of the year N+1), every enterprise is required to send its
annual profit declaration (for the year N) to its designated tax office.
The information contained within these declarations varies in detail according to
the tax system to which the enterprise is subjected: Industrial and Commercial Profits
System (BIC), Non-Commercial Profits system (BNC) or Agricultural Profits (BA).
Within each of these systems, the detail of the information provided varies according
to the size of the enterprise.
2. In a second phase, the information has been enriched by information originating
from the Annual Business Survey.
This information has been collected by INSEE for the commercial and services sectors
and by the competent ministries for other business sectors.
A common core of data is collected annually: accounting data, breakdown of turnover
into branches and diverse sector-specific information.
