Supplementary notes

* The Annual Business Survey uses a sample of data from 62,000 businesses in the Non-Financial Economy in Great Britain and 11,000 in Northern Ireland to draw estimate totals for the whole business population.

** Total employment (point in time) and Total employment (average during the year) which are from the Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES). Caution should be taken when combining financial data from the ABS with employment data from BRES due to differences in methodology.

*** The source provides the following information: The ABS covers only the UK Non-Financial Business Economy which accounts for approximately two thirds of the UK economy in terms of Gross Value Added. Service industries are included, but for section Q only private provision. NHS trusts, local authority and central government bodies are excluded.
