On pages 3 and 4 of the survey, each type of service or intangible asset transaction covered by the survey has a number corresponding to it (for example, advertising services are reported under transaction code 10). If you check a “yes” box in Table 1, then enter the transaction code associated with that service under “Transaction Code” on Schedule A (U.S. Reporter’s Sales of Selected Services and Intangible Assets to Foreign Persons). If you check a “yes” box in Table 2, then enter the transaction code associated with that service on Schedule B (U.S. Reporter’s Purchases of Selected Services and Intangible Assets from Foreign Persons). If you had transactions in some services/intangible assets that did not exceed the reporting threshold (so you checked “no”), we encourage you to report these transactions voluntarily on Schedules A, B, and C to improve the quality of BEA’s data. If you have more types of services than columns provided, simply report them on the overflow sheets.
