  2. Things to talk about • Hungary in the world trade • Institutional arrangements • What are the main challenges? • IMTS • MSITS

  3. Hungary in the world trade • Share in total export • Annual growth rate • Concentration by products and partners • Role of multinational enterprises

  4. External trade, 1992 - 2009

  5. Commodity pattern of external trade, 1996-2009

  6. External trade by types of transactions 1996 – 2009

  8. Concentration by partners

  9. Institutional background • HCSO’s responsibility for the compilation of trade in goods and services statistics • Institutional arrangements • National Bank of Hungary • Tax Authority • Custom Authority • Financial Supervisory Authority (ITS/insurance services)

  10. Institutional arrangements: National Bank of Hungary, since 2002 • Goods: In 2003 payment data were replaced by data from the Custom Authority • Services: In 2005 switching from ITRS to direct reporting (quarterly data collection), • Annual working plan: • Schedule on the introduction of new recommendation of BPM6 • Consistent treatment of multinational enterprises • Joint forum in order to enforce the statistical needs with the Tax Authority • Register building of SPE’s

  11. Institutional arrangements: Tax Authority, since 2004 Use of tax data (VAT, VIES, corporate income tax): • Sample selection • Data validation • Consistency checks • Estimation (Intrastat/traders under the reporting threshold; ITS/construction in Hungary) • Data transmission - government services • Problems: • No consultation before any modifications on declarations, • Insufficient contact information of VAT registrations

  12. Institutional arrangements: Custom Authority, since 2003 • Goods:Individual data on trade with third countries according to the Single Administration Document (SAD) • Services:Custom revenues levied for the EU (25% due to Hungary) • Problems: Statistical requirements can not be fully attained (Custom simplifications)

  13. Overlapping issues IMTS, MSITS 2010 • Processing • Merchanting • Specific movements of goods Financial leasing – operational leasing

  14. Processing 1. Inward processing – processor is in country A, owner of the goods is in other country

  15. Processing 2. Outward processing – owner of the goods is in country A, processor is in other country

  16. Processing 3. FTS is incomplete: • ? Data sources: • FTS (country information on processing fee, one leg transactions) • ITS (CN) or both • ? Transaction codes • ? Evaluation of data (complex cases – multi-stage processing more resident companies, VAT registrations involved). • ? Backcasting of time series • ? Valuation problems (VAT registrations, high technology goods) • ? Adjustments for national accounts, BOP (holding gains and losses, overheads – inward processing) • ? Additional information: • SBS • VAT • Corporate income tax • Balance sheets

  17. Merchanting • Merchanting is collected on quarterly basis in ITS data collection • Better coverage in DR than in ITRS • Data sources: VAT, VIES • Definition in BPM6 (new element according to paragraph 10.48) • Adjustments for BOP, NA • ? new codes, data at CN level, monthly, quarterly data needs

  18. Specific movements of goods, financial leasing – operational leasing • Reconciliation exercises in intra EU trade (big discrepancies): • country A (producer of the ship/aircraft) records trade in goods exports with country B • country B (operator, lessee) records trade in services imports with country C (lessor) • What kind of transactions are recorded between country A and country C? • Harmonised guidlines are needed • Integrated approach: involvement of trade in goods, trade in services, BOP, national accounts • Exchange of information • Case studies (different leasing arrangements within a company)

  19. Main challenges, MSITS 2010 • The content of these services has changed a lot: • Charges for the use of intellectual property • Research and development services • Computer services • Audiovisual services • Difficult to interprete how to report • Data sources: • FTS • Capital account of BOP • Balance sheets • Information from the Patent Office • R&D data collection in HCSO • Problem: Services between affiliated enterprises (imports)

  20. Special Purpose Entities • The treatment of SPE’s is different in the statistics of countries • Proposal - Task Force dealing with the multinationals of GNI Committee of Eurostat • ? ITS, national accounts • Services that are traded (?) by these entities: • R&D • Royalties and licence fees • Operational leasing • Merchanting • Their basic activity is invoicing and the main purpose of their activity is tax reduction.
