Mandatory Quarterly Survey of Transactions in Selected Services and
Intellectual Property with Foreign Persons (BE-125)
Second Quarter 2021: Due August 16, 2021
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is conducting the Quarterly Survey of Transactions in Selected Services and
Intellectual Property with Foreign Persons (BE-125) for the 2nd quarter of 2021.
The Quarterly Survey of Transactions in Selected Services and Intellectual Property with Foreign Persons is a mandatory survey
that collects data on U.S. services providers’ transactions with foreign persons for use in estimating the international
transactions accounts of the United States. The information collected will be used to help support U.S. international economic
policy and to analyze the impact of that policy and the policies of foreign countries on international trade in services. The
information collected will be kept CONFIDENTIAL and can only be used for statistical purposes.
The deadline for submitting the BE-125 survey form is August 16, 2021. A response is required whether or not you have
transactions to report. If you do not have transactions to report, please complete the form through the exemption claim and
submit it to BEA.

To ensure that your report is received as soon as possible, please consider filing electronically using our eFile system
(www.bea.gov/efile) or faxing your response to us at (301) 278-9507.
For assistance, please contact BEA staff at [email protected], (301) 278-9303, or send us a message through BEA’s Secure
Messaging System by logging into our eFile system at www.bea.gov/efile. Forms, reporting requirements, and FAQs are
available at www.bea.gov/ssb. Forms can also be obtained via autoreply by sending a blank email to [email protected].

Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. Your response makes a difference in producing accurate and objective
statistics on the U.S. economy, including the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).
Sincerely,

Patricia Abaroa
Chief, Balance of Payments Division
