The All Countries total should be reported on line 33 with the country detail reported on lines 1 through 32. If you need additional pages to report the country detail, please make additional copies of this schedule.

• If sales to (receipts from) foreign persons of a particular type of intellectual property or service were $6 million or less in the past fiscal year and are expected to be $6 million or less in the current fiscal year, then you are requested to report transactions by country for the most recent quarter for that type of transaction on Schedule A.

If you need additional pages to report the country detail, please make additional copies of this schedule.

• If sales to foreign persons (gross operating revenues) of a particular type of service were $6 million or less in the past fiscal year and are expected to be $6 million or less in the current fiscal year, then you are requested to report transactions by country for the most recent quarter for that type of transaction on Schedule C. The All Countries total may be reported on line 33 with the country detail reported on lines 1 through 32, or you may report the All Countries total only on line 34.

Enter the transaction code associated with the type of transaction, instead of the complete title of the transaction, in the column heading on Schedule C. See V. of the General Instructions for complete descriptions of the transactions covered. If you are reporting transactions for more than one type of service, please make additional copies of this schedule or use the overflow sheet provided in the BE-125 package.

Transactions for a given type of service are reportable based on your relationship with the purchaser. For example, if you provided construction services to a foreign affiliate and to an unaffiliated foreign person, then you would enter "13" for construction services under the heading "Transaction code" and enter the dollar amounts in the appropriate columns (covering gross operating revenues, goods exports, and/or foreign expenses or disbursements) under "Foreign affiliates" and "Unaffiliated foreign persons."

Gross operating revenues – Report revenues (sales) as recorded on your books for the value of services provided and/or construction completed during the reporting period (not when actual payment is received).

Merchandise exports – Report the value of merchandise exported from the United States during the reporting period in connection with services covered on this schedule. Exports should include the value of equipment, supplies, materials, etc., and should equal the amounts reported on the Shippers Export Declarations. Exclude temporary exports of equipment or other goods that are intended to be returned to the United States in substantially the same condition as when exported.

code

Foreign expenses or disbursements – Report salaries and wages transmitted or disbursed abroad; expenses or outlays for services (including purchases from foreign subcontractors), materials, and equipment purchases abroad; and other foreign expenses (e.g., local taxes and fees for permits). (Do not report purchases of material and equipment for import into the United States.)

_{GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS}

Public reporting burden for this BE-125 report is estimated to average

16 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, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BE-58), U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230; and to the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project 0608-0067, Washington, DC 20503.

Purpose – The Quarterly Survey of Transactions in Selected Services and Intellectual Property with Foreign Persons 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 support U.S. international economic policy, and analyze the impact of that policy and the policies of foreign countries, on international trade in services. 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 than $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 than $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

(0608-0067) 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 the address label if such a labeled 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-125 report is required from each U.S. person (see General Instruction II. G. for definition of person) that had sales in excess of $6,000,000 or

purchases in excess of $4,000,000 with foreign persons in any of the services or intellectual property listed in V. of these General Instructions during the U.S. person’s prior fiscal year or for which sales or purchases are expected to exceed that amount during the current 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 Schedules 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 $6,000,000 or less or total purchases were $4,000,000 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 intellectual property 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 or C for sales and Schedule B for purchases for the type of service or intellectual property 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 Schedule A, B, or C; 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.

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.

B. BE-125 definition of services – Services transactions consist of receipts and payments for services as commonly defined and understood (examples are given below) as well as transactions in certain other "intangibles" or "nonvisibles," 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-125 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 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.

Services transactions exclude the following categories:

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.)

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").

For additional clarifications of reporting requirements, please read the BE-125 survey instructions, or call (202) 606-5588.

C. BE-125 definition of sales (receipts) or purchases (payments)

It should be noted that an item other than sales or purchases 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; tele- communications; performing arts, etc.; merchanting; miscellaneous disbursements (included in transaction number 31 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-125 survey’s mandatory reporting requirements for a given service.

1. Reporting period – Form BE-125 is a quarterly report; one report is to be filed for each fiscal quarter of the year.

2. Date of recording transactions – Transactions are to be reported on an accrual basis. However, telecommunications services should 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 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 a majority 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. However, do not report services provided to the U.S. Department of Defense or any of its agencies, such as the Army Corps of Engineers.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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-125 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

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, should be 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 whom a purchase is from, should 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 reportability of a purchase would be determined in a similar manner.
