Notes: This publication is compiled from the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR), which contains information on VAT traders and PAYE employers in a statistical register comprising 2.1 million enterprises, representing nearly 99% of UK economic activity. The tables are produced only for VAT-based enterprises. Enterprises based only on PAYE employers are not included due to potential duplication. This is being investigated and on completion of the work all outputs will cover enterprises based on VAT traders and PAYE employers.
