Hungarian Central Statistical Office Dpt. of External Trade Statistics Goods Sent Abroad for Processing Lídia Bassó TF on Goods Sent Abroad for Processing, Luxembourg 23-24 February, 2012
Topics covered • Some figures on processing in HU • Different scenarios of processing • Challenges of measuring processing • A case of inward processing • Some conclusions of a HU survey on inward processing • Conclusions
Share of after processing trade in total value Drastical drop in inword processing unlikely – indicates measurement problem!
Some mirror statistics, 2010 Million EUR Mirror data even more unlikely! Why???
Some methodology • Who has to declare Intrastat? • Economic operators with HU tax number • Declaring above threshold trade value in intra-EU acquisitions/deliveries VAT boxes • PSIs of Intrastat • Enterprises resident in HU • HU VAT-registrations of enterprises resident in other countries • Established for VAT purposes, e.g. for some scenarios of processing • Considered non-resident by NA and BoP(correction of ETS data) • A national characteristics of Intastat in HU – collection of added value (proc. fee) as invoiced value of NoT 51/52
Why is processing underestimated? • Missing from ETS • Included in ETS but under different NoT code
Processing missing from ETS Traditional processing transactions (41/51 from/to principal) • No info in intra-EU acquisitions/deliveries boxes of VAT • Processing fee incl. among services exports (with all other services) • New processor can not be found by the normal method
Processing included under different NoT code Non traditional EU processing – principal should have HU VAT-registration • All materials for processing invoiced to VAT-reg. • from principal – transfer of stock (at transfer prices!) • from other countries – transfer of stock or acquisition • Intra-EU acquisitions in the VAT declaration • to be reported for Intrastat • no indication that it is for processing • Processed goods exported or sold in HU invoiced from VAT-reg. • The same as above (transfer of stock or sale) • No indication of processing One leg via customs! Different concept of processing.
Number of enterprises inward processing & VAT-registrations 1040 460 16 350
Challenges of measuring processing via VAT-registrations • Finding a contact person who declares Intrastat and gives info on activity • Who should declare and what transaction • VAT-reg. declare both flows in VAT – should declare in Intrastat as goods move through HU border. • For VAT-reg. involved in processing – transfer of stock or purchase/sale • For the HU economy – processing • VAT-reg.should declare processing in Intrastat • NoT declared by principal? • HU processor and the whole network of enterprises involved should be calarified – risk of double reporting!

HU survey on inward processing – some conclusions • Often significant discrepancy bw calculated and collected added values • Processing takes long time • Arrival of materials in large quantities; processing gradual • Several hundred parts processed into many products – large stock needed • Processed goods stored for a while (optimize transport / find a buyer) • Receives data from mother’s IT system, has no info • Processed goods declared at selling price, which incl. significant profit • No value of material or very low transfer price – value of processed goods estimated well • How to estimate country of principal • Partner country for all NoT 41–51 pairs / dominant 41–51 pair(s) [above 95%] • Definition of NoT 41/51 could be changed
Conclusions • Value of processing underestimated – actions needed • HU processor’s fee in VAT services provided to EU regular check • VAT-registration PSIs collect info on activity, declare processing • Trace processing networks (checking data + avoid double counting) • Measurement solutions acc. to BPM6 • Based on ETS data • Classical case inward / outward ETS value added + country estimation • Through VAT-reg. inward – request declaration of processing FTS value added + GBR residence of VAT-reg. • Outward processing one-leg (NoT 42) NBH new data collection • Off-site processing incl. in ITS data collection • Collection as ITS – increase risk of double counting + lower coverage + increase burden on enterprises
