GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Public reporting burden for this BE-120 report is estimated to average

12 hours per response. This burden includes time for reviewing

instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and

maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the

collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden

estimate to Chief, Balance of Payments Division (BE-58), U.S.

Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Washington, DC 20230; and to the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project 0608-0058, Washington, DC 20503.

Purpose – The Benchmark Survey of Transactions in Selected Services

and Intellectual Property with Foreign Persons – 2011 is conducted by

the Department of Commerce to obtain data on the size and economic

significance of these transactions. The information collected will be used to help develop U.S. international economic policy, and analyze the impact of that policy and the policies of foreign countries on international trade in services and intellectual property. The data will also be used in compiling the U.S. international transactions and national income and product accounts.

Authority – This survey is being conducted under the authority of

the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act (P.L.

94-472, 90 Stat. 2059, 22 U.S.C. 3101-3108, as amended – hereinafter

"the Act"), and the filing of reports is mandatory under Section 5(b)(2)

of the Act (22 U.S.C. 3104). Regulations for the survey may be found

in 15 CFR Part 801.

Penalties – Whoever fails to report may be subject to a civil penalty

of not less that $2,500, and not more than $25,000, and to injunctive

relief commanding such person to comply, or both. These civil

penalties are subject to inflationary adjustments. Those adjustments

are found in 15 CFR 6.4. Whoever willfully fails to report shall be

fined not more that $10,000 and, if an individual, may be imprisoned

for not more than one year, or both. Any officer, director, employee,

or agent of any corporation who knowingly participates in such

violations, upon conviction, may be punished by a like fine,

imprisonment, or both. (See 22 U.S.C. 3105.) Notwithstanding the

above, a U.S. person is not subject to any penalty for failure to

report if a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control

number is not displayed on the form; such a number (0608-0058) is

displayed at the top of the first page of this form.

Confidentiality – The Act provides that your report to this Bureau is

CONFIDENTIAL and may be used only for analytical or statistical

purposes. Without your prior written permission, the information filed

in your report CANNOT be presented in a manner that allows it to be

individually identified. Your report CANNOT be used for purposes of

taxation, investigation, or regulation. Copies retained in your files are

immune from legal process.

NOTES —

1. A single original copy of this report must be filed with the

Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA); please use the copy with your address information printed on it if such a copy has been provided.

2. Currency amounts should be reported in U.S. dollars rounded

to thousands (omitting 000). EXAMPLE – If the amount is

$1,000,000, report as $1,000. Amounts less than $500.00 round

to "0" and should, therefore, be omitted.

I. WHO IS TO REPORT AND GENERAL COVERAGE

A. Who is to report and transactions to be reported

1. Mandatory reporting – A BE-120 report is required from

each U.S. person (see General Instruction II for definition of

person) that had sales in excess of $2,000,000 or purchases in

excess of $1,000,000 with foreign persons in any of the

services or intellectual property listed in V. of these General

Instructions during the U.S. person’s 2011 fiscal year. The

determination of whether a U.S. person is subject to this

mandatory reporting requirement may be judgmental, that is,

based on the judgment of knowledgeable persons in a

company who can identify reportable transactions on a recall

basis, with a reasonable degree of certainty without

conducting a detailed records search. Reporters who

must report sales pursuant to this mandatory requirement

must complete Table 1 and Schedule A and/or C, of this

form, and reporters who must report purchases pursuant to

this mandatory requirement must complete Table 2 and

Schedule B of this form. The total amounts of transactions

applicable to a particular schedule are to be entered in

the appropriate column(s) on line 33 of the schedule. In addition,

these amounts must be distributed above line 33 to the

country(ies) involved in the transaction(s).

2. Voluntary reporting – If, during the U.S. person’s fiscal year,

the U.S. person’s total sales were $2,000,000 or less or total

purchases were $1,000,000 or less in any of the types of

services or intellectual property listed in V. of these General

Instructions, the U.S. person is requested to provide an

estimate of the total for each type of service or intangible asset

on the appropriate schedule(s). Provision of this information is

voluntary. The estimates may be judgmental, that is, based on

recall, without conducting a detailed records search. Voluntary

data should be entered onto line 34 of Schedule A, and/or C for

sales and Schedule B for purchases for the type of service or

intangible asset transaction that you are reporting. (If

information on the countries of the transactions is available, it

would be helpful if the transactions were reported on lines 1

through 33 on the appropriate schedule; however, disaggregation

by country is not required.) Reporters who elect to file pursuant to

the voluntary reporting option must complete Parts 1 and 2 of

the form.

In addition, some aspects Schedules D, E, and F are to be reported

on a voluntary basis.

3. Exemption – A U.S. person that receives this form from BEA

but is not required to report data on a mandatory basis, and

that has no transactions of the type covered or that elects not

to report some or all data on a voluntary basis, must complete

Parts 1 and 2 and return this form according to the “How to file”

instructions on page 1.

B. BE-120 definition of services – Services are economic activities

whose outputs are other than tangible goods. This term includes,

but is not limited to, banking, other financial services, insurance,

transportation, communications and data processing, retail and

wholesale trade, advertising, accounting, construction, design,

engineering, management consulting, real estate, professional

services, entertainment, education, and health care.

The BE-120 survey’s transactions consist of receipts and payments

for services as commonly defined and understood (examples are

given below) as well as transactions in intellectual property, including

transactions in patents and copyrights, and charges that may be

recorded in business accounting records under a variety of names,

such as allocated expenses, headquarter expenses, or miscellaneous

charges. (However, not all services transactions are covered by the

BE-120 survey – see below for a list of exclusions.) For example,

services transactions include receipts and payments for the following

categories of services:

1. Education, financial, construction, telecommunications, and

other private services, including rents under operating leases.

2. Rights to use, copy, distribute, or acquire or sell intellectual property

such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, formulae, etc.

3. Charges that companies assess against their foreign units for

overhead, management services, R&D, advertising, and other

support activities.

Types of transactions excluded from coverage of this survey:

1. Purchases or sales of goods. Trade in goods involves

products that have a physical form, and includes purchases

or sales of electricity.

2. Purchases or sales of financial instruments, including

stocks, bonds, financial derivatives, loans, mutual fund

shares, and negotiable CDs. (However, securities brokerage

is a service.) Also excludes receipts of premiums (and related

losses or benefits) on insurance policy and annuities.

3. Income on financial instruments (interest, dividends,

capital gain distributions, etc).

4. Compensation paid to, or received by, employees.

5. Taxes, penalties and fines, gifts or grants (sometimes

called "unilateral transfers").

6. Goodwill.

For additional clarifications of reporting requirements, please continue reading the BE-120 survey instructions, or call (202) 606-5588.

C. BE-120 definition of receipts and payments

It should be noted that an item other than receipts or payments may

be used as the measure of a given service for purposes of

determining whether the threshold for mandatory reporting of the

service is exceeded. Note that in several cases – advertising;

telecommunications; performing arts, etc.; merchanting; miscellaneous

disbursements (some of which are included in transaction code 36 and

some of which are included in transaction codes 33 and 34 in V. of

these General Instructions) – measures other than, or in addition

to, sales or purchases of services should be used. See V. of these

General Instructions for an explanation of what measure should

be applied in determining whether you are subject to the BE-120

survey’s mandatory reporting requirements for a given service.

D. Clarification of coverage and special situations

1. Reporting period – The reporting period is the U.S. reporter’s

2011 fiscal year (see definition II.O. below).

2. Date of recording transactions – Transactions are to be

reported on an accrual basis. However, telecommunications

services are to be reported on a settlement basis.

3. Withholding taxes – Data should be reported gross of U.S.

and foreign withholding taxes.

4. Services covered regardless of where performed –

Services sold to, or purchased from, foreign persons should be

reported by country of transactor regardless of whether the services

were performed in the United States or abroad.

5. Services or intellectual property bundled with goods or

with other services and not separately valued – When a

sale or purchase consists of both goods and services or

intellectual property, or of several services or intellectual property,

that cannot be unbundled (i.e., the goods and/or

services/intellectual property are not separately valued), it

should be classified based on whichever accounts for the

largest share of the value or on the basis of the reporter’s

customary practice.

6. Accounting for purchases – Purchases of services or

intellectual property should be included without regard to

whether they are charged as an expense on the income

statement, capitalized, or charged to inventories.

7. Partnerships – A partnership is a business enterprise and

must report if it has transactions covered by this survey. The

report must be for, and the data and information must cover,

the partnership as a whole, not just the activities of an

individual partner.

8. Projects with U.S. Government nonmilitary agencies –

Report information on services that are provided abroad for

U.S. Government nonmilitary agencies, such as the Agency

for International Development and the United States

Information Agency, or that are part of an aid or technical

cooperation program of the Government with foreign

persons

9. Projects with U.S. Government military agencies – Report

foreign expenditures associated with the services provided to

the U.S. Department of Defense on the BE-120. Do not report

services provided abroad for the U.S. Department of Defense or any

of its agencies, such as the Army Corps of Engineers. 

10. International organizations – Report transactions with

international organizations, which, according to balance of

payments conventions, are considered foreign persons even

if they are headquartered in the United States. Enter the

abbreviated designation, "Int’l Org." as the name of the

country of the foreign party to the transaction.

11. Internet transactions – Reporting requirements are

determined by who the transactions are with and not by

where the services are performed or the location of the buyer

and seller at the time of the transaction. Thus, reportable

transactions include those conducted over the Internet or

other networks.

12. Reciprocal exchanges – Include the value of reciprocal

exchanges; i.e., transactions involving barter. On Schedule A,

value your sales to the foreign participant in the reciprocal

exchange at market rates, not at the actual cost of performing

the services. On Schedule B, value your purchases from the

foreign participant at the same amount as the sale reported

on Schedule A.

E. Consolidation

If the U.S. Reporter is a corporation, please complete Form BE-120

to cover reportable transactions for the fully consolidated U.S.

domestic enterprise consisting of (i) the U.S. corporation whose

voting securities are not owned more than 50 percent by another

U.S. corporation, and, proceeding down each ownership chain

from that U.S. corporation, (ii) any U.S. corporation whose voting

securities are more than 50-percent owned by the U.S. corporation

above it.

The fully consolidated U.S. domestic enterprise excludes foreign

branches and other foreign affiliates.

Conditions may exist that would lead a U.S. corporation to

exclude certain majority-owned (more than 50-percent owned)

domestic subsidiaries from financial statements used in reports

to shareholders. If such a subsidiary has covered transactions, it

must file a report under its own name, and the subsidiary will be

considered the U.S. reporter for purposes of this survey.

III. GUIDELINES FOR CATEGORIZING ACTIVITIES

A. Distinguishing between unaffiliated and affiliated

Transactions

This survey covers U.S. persons’ direct transactions, both sales

and purchases, with affiliated and unaffiliated foreign persons.

Examples of affiliated transactions are:

1. A transaction between a U.S. person (U.S. parent) and its

foreign affiliate.

2. A transaction between a U.S. person (U.S. affiliate) and its

foreign parent(s) or member(s) of the affiliated foreign group(s).

Examples of unaffiliated transactions are:

1. A transaction between a U.S. person and an unaffiliated

foreign person.

2. A transaction between one U.S. person and another U.S.

person’s foreign affiliate. Such a transaction is reportable by

the first U.S. person.

Examples of transactions that are not reportable are:

1. A transaction between a U.S. affiliate of a foreign parent and

another U.S. person.

2. A transaction between a U.S. parent’s foreign affiliate and

another foreign person.

B. Foreign activities of a U.S. person that do not constitute a

foreign affiliate

Although the definitions of direct investment and foreign affiliate

in II. above, together with the discussion in III.A. above, is usually

sufficient to determine whether a given foreign activity is or

is not a foreign affiliate, in a number of cases the determination

may be difficult. Several factors to be considered are given

below. If you still cannot determine if the activity or operation is

an affiliate, call (202) 606-5588 for additional guidance.

If a U.S. person’s foreign activity or operation is incorporated

abroad, it is a foreign affiliate.

If a U.S. person’s foreign activity or operation is not

incorporated abroad, its status is based on the weight of the

evidence when the factors listed below are considered.

An unincorporated foreign activity or operation generally would

be considered a foreign affiliate if it: (i) is subject to foreign

income taxes; (ii) has a substantial physical presence abroad

(e.g., plant and equipment or employees); (iii) maintains

separate financial records that would permit the preparation of

financial statements, including an income statement and balance

sheet (not just a record of disbursements and receipts); (iv) takes

title to the goods it sells and receives revenues therefrom; or (v)

receives funds for its own account from customers for services it

performs. Transactions with this type of entity should be

reported under "Foreign affiliates."

An unincorporated foreign activity or operation generally would

not be considered a foreign affiliate if it: (i) conducts business

abroad only for the U.S. person’s account and not for its own

account (e.g., sales promotion or public relations type of

activities); (ii) has no separate financial statements; (iii) receives

funds to cover its expenses only from the U.S. person; (iv) is not

subject to foreign income taxes; and (v) has limited physical

assets, or employees, permanently located abroad. Transactions

with this type of entity should be reported under "Unaffiliated

foreign persons."

C. U.S. activities of a foreign person that do not constitute a

U.S. affiliate

Criteria for determining which U.S. activities do or do not

constitute a U.S. affiliate of a foreign person are parallel to those

in III.B. above.

D. Determining who must report a transaction when an

intermediary is involved

At times, transactions between a U.S. person and a foreign

person may be arranged by, billed through, or otherwise

facilitated by, an intermediary. The intermediary may be U.S. or

foreign, and may be affiliated or unaffiliated with the U.S., or the

foreign, person.

A determination of whom a sale is to, or who a purchase is from, shall

be made on the basis of whom the U.S. person considers itself to

have a claim on for payment, in the case of a sale, or whom it has a

liability to, in the case of a purchase. For a sale, if the U.S. person

looks to the foreign person for payment, then the transaction is

between the U.S. person and the foreign person, and is to be

reported by the U.S. person. If the U.S. person looks to the

intermediary for payment, and the intermediary, in turn, looks to the

foreign person for payment, then whether either transaction is

reportable, and who it is to be reported by, depends on the location of

the intermediary and the relationship between the U.S. person and

the intermediary.

If the intermediary is a foreign person, then the U.S. person

would report the transaction, as a transaction with a foreign

person.

If the intermediary is a U.S. person, then the initial transaction

between the original U.S. person and the intermediary is

domestic-to-domestic and not reportable in this survey. However,

the intermediary must report the transaction with the foreign

person.

The reporting of a purchase would be determined in a similar

manner.

The purpose of this checklist is to facilitate the determination of whether or not the "parts" or units of a given U.S. company had any of the various services transactions covered by the survey, either sales (receipts) or purchases (payments), with foreign persons during the respondent’s fiscal year. (The term "persons" includes business enterprises, governments, individuals, and other organizations and entities.) For companies with diverse operations, this checklist should be directed to persons in the various parts of the company who are knowledgeable about the parts’ sales and purchasing activities and who can say, in their judgment, with a reasonable degree of certainty without conducting a records search, whether or not a part engaged in covered transactions. Because companies organize their operations and accounting systems in different ways, these parts of a company might variously be referred to as profit centers, business units, divisions, subsidiaries, plant sites, establishments, operating centers, etc., or some combination thereof. All parts of the domestic company must be covered, although all need not be given the checklist, since some might already be known by headquarters to have, or not have, reportable transactions.	Definitions of the various types of transactions are on the next two pages of this checklist. 1. Both sales and purchases of services should relate to the company’s 2011 fiscal year. 2. Transactions by the U.S. operation ONLY are covered. Transactions by foreign branches or subsidiaries (foreign affiliates) of the U.S. company are NOT covered. NOR are transactions by a foreign parent company, unless they are with the U.S. reporter. 3. In reporting purchases, include items meeting the above criteria, without regard to whether they were charged as an expense on the Income statement, capitalized, or charged to inventories. 4. "Foreign" means that which is situated outside the United States and its territories and possessions. 5. Reportable transactions are determined by the above criteria, without regard to WHERE the services were performed. For example, services performed abroad by a respondent are covered if the respondent’s U.S. operations performed the services instead of a foreign affiliate. Similarly, purchases of services from unaffiliated foreign persons are includable without regard to WHERE such services were performed.
