  1. Information from Administrative Data for Business Register Session 5: Projects on Improvements for Business Registers Wiesbaden Group on Business Registers Paris, 26 November 2008 Anke Rink

  2. Outline • short term administrative data for improving quality of the business register • new source: Electronic Commercial Register (EHUG)

  3. Short term administrative data for improving quality of the business register • Approach today: • yearly delivery of administrative data for a certain reference date • Approach in future: • delivery of short term data, e.g. monthly

  4. Advantage of short term data: • more up-to-date information • information on seasonal changes

  5. For which characteristics can we use these data? • short term changes of identifiers, e.g. tax number • integration of new units in BR more up-to-date • closing of units in BR more up-to-date • changes in characteristics

  6. Electronic commercial register (EHUG) • The electronic commercial register contains all units of the commercial register. • In the commercial register with the exception of very small units, all enterprises have to be registered. The commercial register contains around 1.5 Mio active enterprises. • Recently, these data have been stored only on paper.

  7. For which purpose can we use EHUG? We can update • Commercial Register identifier • address data • legal form • starting date of business activity

  8. Commercial Register identifier The commercial register contains 1.5 Mio active enterprises with their commercial register identifier and another 2.2 Mio for closed companies. Only 20% of all active enterprises (750 000 from 3.5 Mio) in the business register have recorded a commercial register identifier from other administrative sources.

  9. Address data All enterprises have to communicate changes in their address to the commercial register. The time lag of this information compared with other administrative sources is very small. These domicile addresses are legally valid.

  10. Legal form In the commercial register the legal form is correctly coded. Other administrative data can have transcription errors or are not up to date.

  11. Starting date of business activity In the BR the starting date of business activity is not always available. In the commercial register, the date of the first registration is stored, this is equivalent with the starting date.

  12. EHUG BR Integration of data EHUG → BR matching by commercial register identifier clear match 1 : 1 ambigous match 1 : n no match 1 : 0 resolving • updating of the characteristics: • trade number • legal form • address matching by address clear match no match new BR units
