The survey will collect financial data from businesses’ end-year accounts, including turnover, wages and salaries, purchases of goods and services, stocks and capital expenditure, and becomes an important source of information used in the completion of Jersey’s national accounts measures and trade statistics.
The survey was launched last year, taking the place of the old Annual Business Survey and the Survey of Financial Institutions.
Businesses have been selected by Statistics Jersey to take part. Undertakings of all sizes will be surveyed to ensure their statistics are representative of the economy.
All undertakings with 50 or more employees will automatically be included, as their information is considered highly significant, and some smaller undertakings will make the list through a random selection process.
These undertakings are considered important, as their trading patterns are often different to larger businesses.
Once selected, each business is legally obliged to comply and return a survey form by the closing date of 31st July 2024.
