WHAT IS A MINERAL DOMESTIC REPORTING UNIT?
A mineral domestic reporting unit is a
•
representation of all oil and gas field activities in one state or offshore area operated by the reporting
company.
•
location where mineral operations are performed.
o It represents a mine, group of wells, preparation plant, or natural gas liquids plant. (Report all gas
processed, products, operating costs, and capital expenditures on a gross basis of the natural gas
liquids plant.)
o It represents a working or group of workings at a given locality in which operations are conducted
as a unit or are unified by common management or joint handling of some parts of the mining or
processing/concentration/preparation process.

Individual shafts, openings, or sites should not necessarily be considered as individual
mines.

Examples of mineral domestic reporting units include:
•
mine only (underground, strip-pit, auger, culm-bank, or dredge operation) (Report
open-pit mines separately from underground mines, whenever possible.)
•
mine and processing plant
•
mine and preparation plant (plants engaged in milling, washing, calcining,
crushing, classifying, or other types of mineral preparation)
•
processing plant only (Report plants engaged solely in treating ores mined at
other locations separately from the mines.)
•

Separate questionnaires are required for lease and land acquisitions of mineral rights if they are located in a county
different than any domestic reporting unit operated. Include a designation of the kind of mineral expected to be
produced. Such acquisitions may be included in the questionnaires of the nearest operating domestic reporting unit if
the domestic reporting unit is located in the same county as the acquisition and produces the same type of mineral.
HOW TO REPORT FOR DOMESTIC REPORTING UNITS WITH NO PRODUCTION
Return a completed questionnaire for each of your company’s mineral domestic reporting units that had no production
during 2017. Enter "0" in Item 22. Report information in the appropriate items, such as custodial employees,
inventories or capital expenditures.

MULTIPLE DOMESTIC REPORTING UNIT COMPANIES ONLY
If any of the items requested are maintained in your records only at a divisional or company level, allocate
their costs to each domestic reporting unit for which you received this questionnaire. For further details on selected
items, see below:
•
Item 5: When determining transfer values of products and materials from one domestic reporting unit to
another (interplant transfers), include, in addition to direct costs of production, a reasonable proportion of "all
other costs (company overhead) and profits." The domestic reporting units receiving such transfers should
report them as purchased minerals for preparation, supplies, fuels, or electric energy at the same value plus
cost of freight and other direct handling charges. (See Item 16.)
•
Item 7: When determining employer’s cost for fringe benefits, you may distribute the total based on the ratio
of the payroll of each domestic reporting unit to the total company payroll unless you have developed your
own method of making such allocations.
•
Item 9: When determining inventories, assign to each domestic reporting unit those inventories that the
domestic reporting unit is responsible for as if it owned them. INCLUDE those inventories that are held
elsewhere, such as a warehouse operated by your company or a public warehouse. The inventories of an
operating domestic reporting unit held elsewhere should not be reported on the report of the warehouse
where they may be actually stored. Inventories should not be duplicated on domestic reporting unit
questionnaires.
•
Item 14: When determining rental payments and assets, if this domestic reporting unit maintains a tenant
relationship with the parent company or one of its subsidiaries and pays "rent" for the use of either its
buildings or equipment, exclude the value of this rent from Item 14. Instead, report the gross value of assets
made available to this domestic reporting unit as a result of this "rental" agreement in Item 13, as if the
domestic reporting unit owned them. If this domestic reporting unit uses buildings or equipment rented
directly from other companies, but rental payments are handled centrally at a company or division level,
report the share of overhead charged to this domestic reporting unit or estimate the share of rental charges
appropriate to the operations of this domestic reporting unit in Item 14.
•
Item 16: When determining selected expenses, if supplies, minerals for processing, fuels, and electric
energy are received from other domestic reporting units of your company, check the cost against the values
reported by the domestic reporting unit transferring the supply (refer to Item 5 instructions). Add freight
and other direct handling charges.

Information Sheet for Construction Sector

The Construction Sector of the 2017 Economic Census covers domestic operations of establishments primarily
engaged in these broad types of activities:
*BUILDING CONSTRUCTION by general contractors, specialty trade contractors, design-builders, developers, or
construction managers.
*HEAVY CONSTRUCTION includes work on non-building structures, such as highways, utility related structures, and
water projects by general contractors, specialty trade contractors, design-builders, developers, or construction
managers.
*LAND SUBDIVISION represents subdividing and servicing of raw land into lots for sale by a landowner to a builder.
*SPECIALTY TRADE CONTRACTORS represents specialty trade activities, such as plumbing, electrical, masonry,
carpentry, painting, excavation, flooring, glass, metal, or concrete work, and other construction activities performed
on building and non-building structures.

CONSTRUCTION INCLUDES - (a) new or original construction; (b) additions, alterations, rehabilitation, remodeling,
or reconstruction; and (c) maintenance, repair, or service work.

REPORT DATA AT THE ESTABLISHMENT LEVEL

A construction establishment is a relatively permanent office, or other place of business, where the usual business
activities related to construction are conducted. Generally, a relatively permanent office is one which has been
established for the management of more than one project or job and which is expected to be maintained on a
continuing basis. Establishment activities include, but are not limited to estimating, bidding, scheduling, purchasing,
and supervising of the actual construction work being done at one or more construction sites. Examples of
construction establishments are –
•
•
•
•

the office or branch office of a construction contractor or builder, even if the office is in your home.
the office or shop of a special trade contractor who specializes in activities such as plumbing, painting,
carpentry, etc.
a construction division or subsidiary of a manufacturing, mining or other business company,
which undertakes construction for the parent company or others.
a separate legal entity which has been established to carry out a given project, part of a project, or to
undertake a construction project as a joint venture.

FOR MULTI-ESTABLISHMENT COMPANIES AND SUBSIDIARIES
If any of the items requested are maintained in records at a divisional or parent company level, allocate the cost to
each construction establishment for which you received a questionnaire. For example, value of inventories (item
9) and value of building and equipment assets (item13) owned by the parent company should be assigned to each
establishment that the establishment is responsible for as if it owned them. In the case of building and equipment, if
the establishment is a tenant or lessee, rental costs in item 14should be adjusted accordingly. Expenses in item

16C incurred by the parent on behalf of the establishment should be allocated to each establishment on an
appropriated basis (e.g. the ratio of the payroll of each construction establishment to the total company payroll or
revenues). The costs should not be duplicated on any establishment reports. Separate reports are required for each
establishment.

Item 5. SALES, SHIPMENTS, RECEIPTS, OR REVENUE
Sales, shipments, billings, receipts, or revenue from business operations in foreign countries or outside
the 50 states and the District of Columbia do not report in Item 5.

Item 9. INVENTORIES OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT AT END OF YEAR
Report the value of all inventories of materials and supplies that are owned by this establishment or assigned to it at
the end of 2017 and 2016 regardless of where the inventories are held. If this establishment is part of a multi-

establishment company, the parent company should assign to each establishment those inventories that the
establishment is responsible for as if it owned them and this establishment should include the value of inventories
in this report. Inventories should not be duplicated on any establishment reports. Report inventories using current
cost (if using LIFO method of evaluation, adjust to obtain FIFO or current cost).

Item 13. ASSETS, CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, RETIREMENTS, AND DEPRECIATION
Item 13A. Depreciable assets are the buildings, structures, machinery, and equipment owned by this establishment or
its parent for which depreciation accounts are ordinarily maintained. If this establishment is part of a multiestablishment company, the parent company should assign to each establishment building and equipment that
the establishment is responsible for as if it owned them. This establishment should include these as part of its
beginning balances, additions, and disposals as appropriate as well as the allocation of related depreciation
expenses. For example, if this establishment maintained a tenant relationship with the parent company
or a subsidiary, and paid “rent” for the use of either buildings or equipment, do not report the value of this
“rent”. Instead, in item 13A report the gross value of the assets made available to this establishment as a result of
this “rental” agreement as if the establishment owned them.
Include:
•
Assets acquired through capital leases. If any building or equipment has been acquired under a capital
leasing arrangement that meets the criteria set down by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB),
please report the original cost or market value as a fixed asset and as a capital expenditure if acquired in
2012. If the lease qualifies as an operating lease, do not include the value of the building and equipment as
a fixed asset or capital expenditure.
•
Assets acquired or produced to be leased to others as the lessor under an operating lease.
•
Capital expenditures for construction in progress incurred in prior periods. Report current capital
expenditures in Item 13B even if not completed and operational.

•
Assets leased to others under capital lease arrangements.
Item 13B, Capital expenditures include current expenditures for property, equipment, and capital improvements that
were or will be chargeable to the fixed asset accounts and for which depreciation accounts are ordinarily maintained.
Additions to construction-in-progress for company owned projects lasting more than one year that will be added, as
depreciable assets should be reported currently rather than once the project has been completed and is in use.

Item 22. DETAILS OF SALES, SHIPMENTS, RECEIPTS, OR REVENUE
Include all sales, shipments, receipts, revenue, or value of business done reported in item 5, SALES, SHIPMENTS,
RECEIPTS, OR REVENUE broken out in details. Show dollars received by types of buildings, structures, or facilities
constructed or worked on by construction establishments in the reporting year in which establishments received
construction and non-construction receipts for activities, products, services only. This question requests that the
amount reported in item 5, be broken down by type of construction and non-construction activities for
the dollar value reported in item 5. Pick the appropriate construction projects and non-construction activities and
report the specific dollar amount for each applicable type of construction and non-construction activities done by the
establishment for the reporting period of 2017.
For example,
If establishment has amount of $125,000 total receipts for item 5, SALES, SHIPMENTS, RECEIPTS, OR REVENUE,
where total amount is broken out as construction activities of $75,000 receipts for new detached single-family houses,
$20,000 receipts for additions, alterations, and reconstruction for attached single-family houses, and $5,000 receipts
for maintenance and repair work for attached single-family houses, with the remaining non- construction activity of
$25,000 receipts for snow plowing service, report dollar values by the various receipt details. You would allocate
each dollar you reported for construction receipts into the appropriate NAPCS product category according to the
categories of construction services for new construction, construction service for additions, alterations, and
reconstruction, and construction services for maintenance and repair work. You would also report the nonconstruction activity of snow plowing into the appropriate non-construction NAPCS product category.
For the example explained above, you would report the $75,000 as construction service for
new detached single-family houses, the $20,000 as construction services for additions, alterations, and
reconstruction, and the $5,000 as construction services for maintenance and repair work. Then report the remaining
$25,000 as snow plowing service, a non-construction activity.
If you worked on more than one type of building or structure in a multipurpose complex, report separately for each
building or type of structure. However, if you worked on a building that had more than one purpose, i.e., office,
residential, or commercial, classify this building by its major purpose. If you worked on combined sewer-water-storm
drain projects, report each separately if estimates can be made. If not, report the entire project under the major
purpose. If you were involved in concrete work, excavating or earthmoving work, report separately the type of
buildings or structures for which the work was done.

NEW CONSTRUCTION
– the original construction work done on a project including all finishing work on the original building or structure.
Land development work on the site and demolition of existing structures are included in new construction.
ADDITIONS, ALTERATIONS, OR RECONSTRUCTION
– construction work which adds to the value or useful life of an existing building or structure, or which adapts a
building or structure to a new or different use. Included are "major replacements" of building systems such as the
installation of a new roof or heating system and the resurfacing of streets or highways. This contrasts to the
repair of a hole in a roof or the routine patching of highways and streets, which would be classified as maintenance
and repair.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR WORK
– incidental construction work which keeps a property in ordinary working condition. Excluded are trash and snow
removal, lawn maintenance and landscaping, and cleaning and janitorial services.

Item 23. KIND OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
Kind of business activities reported in item 23should be consistent with item 5 and also item 22 data reported.
The sum of the all the percentages reported in item 23should sum to 100%, and the details dollar amounts allocated
for construction activities in item 22, should equal the percentage amount obtained for item 23A, when the total dollar
value of construction activities in item 5 and item 22 is divided by the total amount reported in item 5.
For example,
if you reported $75,000 in item 22 for construction activities dollar value and $100,000 in item 5 total dollar value,
then the sum of the percentages reported in item 23A should equal 75%. Then sum of the percentages reported in
23B for other business activities should equal the percent obtained when the dollar value $25,000 for nonconstruction activities in item 22 is divided by that of item 5 total dollar value, then the sum of the entries in 23B
should equal 25%.

Item 22A. CONSTRUCTION WORK ACTIVITIES
Report only the main activities for which you were contracted. Work which was incidental to the primary
activities of jobs should not be reported separately.
For example,
If you were contracted to design and build, do not separate out the design part from the construction work.
In Item 22A. CONSTRUCTION WORK ACTIVITIES report only the main activities for which you were
contracted. Work which was incidental to the primary activities of jobs should not be reported separately.
For example,
•If you were contracted to design and build, do not separate out the design part from the construction work.
If you were contracted to shingle a roof, do not separate out incidental gutter and downspout installation.
•If you were working as a general contractor, do not separate out carpentry work, excavation work, etc.
•If this establishment engaged in construction activities that are not listed on the form, please enter a description of
the construction activity in the “Other kinds of construction” write-in box, along with a percentage of the total value of
business for that specified activity.

Item 22B. OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

Report any non-construction activities. If the activity is not listed on the form, please enter a description of the nonconstruction activity in the “Other business activities” write-in box, along with a percentage of the value of total
business for that specified activity.

Item 28A SPECIAL INQUIRIES - OWNERSHIP OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Work on interstate highways should be reported as state-owned construction.

Information Sheet for Manufacturing Sector

The 2017 Economic Census of Manufactures consists of general statistics inquiry items, and detailed materials,
parts, and supplies consumed; products manufactured; and special inquiry items.

Where available, an inquiry item shows an establishment’s prior year data in the 2016 column. The figures
may differ from those actually reported because of changes made by the U.S. Census Bureau as a result of
correspondence or a comparison with prior data reported for an establishment. Check these figures and
make any necessary corrections. If 2016 figures are not shown, report these figures for Item 9, and if applicable,
Items 10 and 11.
Before submitting your completed report, review all figures for consistency, and retain a copy for your records.
DEFINITION OF ESTABLISHMENT AND MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY
•
•
•

An establishment is generally a single physical location where business is conducted or where
services or industrial operations are performed. Further clarification is provided in Part1, General
Instructions.
Manufacturing activity involves the mechanical, physical, or chemical transformation of
materials, substances, or components into new products.
The assembling of component parts of manufactured products is considered manufacturing, except in cases
where the activity is appropriately classified in Sector 23, Construction. Further clarification is provided in
Part 1, Section B.

Report separate data for each establishment.

corner of the report form.

Report all value figures in thousands of dollars, electricity quantity figures in thousands of kilowatt-hours, and the
average number of annual production workers unrounded for the manufacturing establishment.

When actual book figures cannot be provided without high cost to your company, reasonable amounts of
estimating or prorating are acceptable.

Special instructions pertaining to companies with two or more manufacturing plants are preceded by the
statement - FOR MULTIPLE-ESTABLISHMENT COMPANIES ONLY, and are presented in italics. If your
company consists of a single establishment, you may ignore the multi-establishment instructions.

A. Who Should Report
The Economic Census of Manufactures is conducted under an Act of Congress (Title 13, United States Code) which
requires that a report be filed by every manufacturer who receives a report form.

If an establishment that is not in operation receives a report form, submit the form with a notation of its condition in
Item 3, Operational Status. If the establishment had custodial employees, capital expenditures, inventories, or any
shipments from inventories, these should be reported in their proper sections.
Separate reports are required for each manufacturing establishment (plant) because data will be published for
industries and states. An establishment is a single physical location where manufacturing is performed. If your

company operates at different physical locations, even if they are producing the same line of goods, a separate
report must be filed for each location.

If your company operates in two or more distinct lines of manufacturing at the same location, a separate report must
be filed for each activity.

B. Manufacturing Activities

Report all activities (manufacturing, fabricating, processing, and assembling) conducted within the establishment.

INCLUDE

• Maintenance of plant and equipment
• Receiving and shipping activities
• Warehousing and storage
• Research
• Recordkeeping
• Health and safety
• Cafeteria (without seating) and other services unless operated as separate establishments

EXCLUDE

• Sales branches and sales offices
• Research laboratories
• Retail stores
• Mining activities and general administrative offices

The Manufacturing Sector also includes establishments engaged in the following activities:

• Apparel jobbing and contracting
• Assembling from purchased components
• Commission processing of materials owned by others
• Job casting, stamping, and machining
• Lapidary work
• Machine shops, including those operating on a job-order basis
• Manufacturing and delivering ready-mixed concrete
• Milk pasteurizing and bottling
• Plating, galvanizing, polishing, etc., of materials owned by others
• Poultry dressing
• Printing books, periodicals, etc.
• Repair of ships
• Research and development, engineering and other services directly related to aerospace industries
• Sawmills
• Seafoods, fresh-packaged or frozen
• Wood preserving

Descriptions of some of these activities are provided in Item 22 of the DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS.

C. Economic Value
FOR MULTIPLE-ESTABLISHMENT COMPANIES ONLY
One of the important statistical measures of manufacturing activity is "value added by manufacture" which is derived
by the U.S. Census Bureau from the figures reported for value of shipments, cost of materials, and inventories.

In order for statistics on value added and other subjects to be comparable from industry to industry, it is necessary that
the operations of each establishment of a multiple-establishment organization be reported as though the establishment
was a separate "economic" unit. This means that the value of interplant transfers
and the cost of transferred materials within a company should include, in addition to direct costs of production, a
reasonable proportion of "all other costs (including company overhead) and profits.”
The establishment receiving such transfers should report them as materials consumed (or inventories of materials, etc.)
at the same value plus the costs of freight and other direct handling charges. (See Item 5, line A, Shipments and Other
Receipts; Item 9, Value of Inventories; and Item 16, line A, Selected Production Related Costs.)

D. Reporting Period

Report data for the calendar year. If calendar year book figures are not available except at considerable cost,
reasonable estimates will be accepted. Indicate in Item 31, Certification, the exact dates covered.

If an establishment began to operate or ceased to operate during 2017, report only the part of the year that the
establishment was in operation. Report any changes in Item 3, Operational Status.

If the operator changed during the year, report only for that part of the year that your company operated the
establishment. Report in Item 3 the appropriate information on changes in operator or operational status. See
part E for additional instructions.

E. Special Reporting Instructions for Establishments that Changed Ownership

The establishment may have been purchased singly or as part of a parent company which was acquired by or
merged with another company. Please make certain that the date of the change in ownership is recorded in Item 3,
Operational Status.
If your are filing for only part of the year, report as follows:
1. REPORT FOR THE OWNER WHO SOLD THE ESTABLISHMENT - Report any new or used capital expenditures,
that occurred in the current year prior to the sale.
2. REPORT FOR THE BUYER - Report only the capital expenditures which occurred after the original purchase of
the entire plant.

F. Establishments Involved with Asset Leasing Arrangements

If any building or equipment has been acquired in 2017 under a capital lease, please report the cost (at the market
value) as a capital expenditure in Item 13. Do not report the periodic payments made to the lessor. If the lease
qualifies as an operating lease, do not include the value of the building and equipment as capital expenditures. Also,
do not report the periodic payments made to the producer or the lessor as capital expenditures.

Part 2 – DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELECTED ITEMS
Item 5 - Sales, Shipments, Receipts, or Revenue
Line A – Total Value of Products Shipped and Other Receipts
Report the total value of products shipped, including interplant transfers, exports, and other receipts as
entered in Item 22 . For selected industries in the manufacturing sector, value of production or value of
work done are requested.

The value in Item 5, line A should be the same as the value reported in Item 22, product code 9900000000.
Also, this value should be comparable to the total reported for 2016. If the two figures are not comparable,
please explain in the REMARKS section at the end of the instrument.

Line B – Value of Products Exported

The breaking down of bulk shipments of your products into smaller bits or packages by a wholesale exporter
or by other units of your company is not considered as further manufacturing, fabricating, or assembly.

plan categories associated with the benefit type. Cash or benefits taxable to the employees should be
reported as payroll in Item 7, line E.

Items 9 and 10 – INVENTORIES

In reporting value of inventories for inventories valued by Last-In, First-Out (LIFO), use the value of the inventories
before calculations to determine LIFO value and LIFO reserve. The LIFO reserve (if any) is to be reported separately
in Item 10, line C.

Note that the LIFO reserve is the difference between the current cost (e.g., First-In, First-Out (FIFO)) of inventories
(gross value) and the LIFO carrying value (net value). If you calculate the LIFO carrying value of inventories by
specific goods LIFO (unit LIFO), please estimate the current cost of inventories for the purpose of determining the
LIFO reserve.
In completing the report of a manufacturing establishment or sales branch, INCLUDE those inventories that are
held elsewhere, such as a warehouse operated by your company or in a public warehouse. The inventories of an
operating establishment held elsewhere should not be reported on the report of the warehouse where they are
actually stored. Inventories should not be duplicated on establishment reports.

Item 13 – ASSETS, CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, AND RETIREMENTS
Line A – Gross Value of Depreciable Assets (acquisition cost)

Item 22 – DETAIL OF SALES, SHIPMENTS, RECEIPTS, OR REVENUE
Below is a list of manufacturing activities that are inside the scope of the Manufacturing Sector.

Establishments whose activity spans these areas should review their specific section carefully and note any
special product reporting instructions that may be particular to their products.
AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES (3364)
These instructions recognize that the assignment of product shipment values by the aerospace industries differs
from that followed by most manufacturing industries. Most contracts within the aerospace industries are variations
of “fixed price” or “cost plus.” These instructions are designed to insure that products are reported consistently in
Item 9 or Item 22.
Fixed price contracts – Work performed under a fixed price contract should be reported as a shipment when
delivery of the product occurs. The cumulative value of the products being manufactured should be included in
inventories gross of progress payments until delivered. (These inventories should not be reduced by the amount of
any progress payment.)

Cost plus contracts – The value of work done on a cost plus contract should reflect cost incurred during the year as
well as a portion of the profits for the contract. Value of work done may be based on (a) the estimated work
completed during the year as a percentage of the total contract price or (b) net billings for work done during the
year. This value should be reported for the value of products shipped. Any work done during the year that has not
been reported as a shipment should be reported in work-in-process inventories.
Nonaerospace products – The value of nonaerospace products shipped and services performed should be based
on the net selling value, f.o.b. plant, after discounts and allowances, and exclusive of freight charges and excise

Information Sheet for Wholesale Trade Sector

DEFINITION OF WHOLESALE TRADE
The 2017 Economic Census covering the Wholesale Trade sector includes establishments primarily
engaged in selling or arranging the purchase or sale of goods, selling goods for resale, selling
capital or durable nonconsumer goods, and selling raw and intermediate materials and supplies
used in production.
Most wholesale establishments exhibit the following characteristics:
•
•

Wholesalers usually operate from a warehouse or office. These warehouses and offices are
characterized by having little or no display of merchandise. In addition, neither the design
nor the location of the premises is intended to solicit walk-in traffic.
Wholesalers do not usually use advertising directed to the general public. Customers are
generally reached initially via telephone, in-person marketing, or by specialized advertising
that may include Internet and other electronic means.

If an establishment is NOT engaged in this kind of business, DESCRIBE its business or activity in
item 17A and COMPLETE the report form as accurately as possible.
ITEM 5: SALES, SHIPMENTS, RECEIPTS, OR REVENUE
A. Report total sales of merchandise and other operating receipts in thousands of dollars for the
calendar year 2017.
Include:
• Cash and credit sales of merchandise, whether or not payment was received in 2017.
• Receipts for delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, alteration, storage, and other
services provided in 2017, whether or not payment was received in 2017.
• The gross selling value of goods that this establishment sold or purchased on a
commission, brokerage, consignment, or agency basis for others.
• The actual value of trade-ins taken as partial payment for other merchandise.
• Sales to foreign subsidiaries and affiliates and to the establishment’s Foreign Sales
Corporations (FSCs).
• Receipts from the rental and leasing of merchandise.
• Excise taxes (such as those on gasoline, liquor, and tobacco) which are paid by the
manufacturer and are included in the cost of goods purchased.
• Liquor and tobacco tax stamps, taxes, and licenses sold.
• Fees received for arranging the foreign sale of goods which never entered the United
States or its Foreign Trade Zones.
• Shipping and handling receipts collected from customers.

•

The value of transfers (billings) to the firm’s own retail service stations, retail fuel oil
dealers, and retail liquefied petroleum (LP) gas dealers.
• The value of transfers (billings) of farm products to other establishments in the company.
Exclude:
• Sales and other taxes (including Hawaii’s General Excise Tax) collected directly from
customers and paid directly to a federal, state, or local tax agency.
• Receipts from carrying and other credit charges.
• Nonoperating income from sources such as investments, rental or sale of real estate, and
interest.

B. Answer "Yes" if this establishment earned a commission or brokerage fee for transactions
negotiated for others.
C. Report the market value of products bought or sold by others on which the establishment
earned a commission or fee.
If actual sales are unavailable from firm records, estimate the value by dividing actual
commissions received by the average percentage charged for sales activity.
For example, if commissions received totaled $200,000 and the average commission is estimated
as 5 percent, then the gross selling value is $4,000,000 ($200,000/.05).
H. E-commerce sales and operating receipts are sales of goods and services where an order is
placed by the buyer, or price and terms of sale are negotiated over an Internet, Extranet, Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) network, electronic mail, or other online system. Payment may or may not
be made online. (This is item J on report forms 42471 and 42472.)
