Annual Statistics (RGS)
Data on the production, personnel and corporate finance of companies in the Netherlands are essential in order to understand how different industries and the national economy are developing. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) is responsible for the publication of figures based on such data. To publish these figures, CBS conducts the Annual Statistics survey.
For this survey, we ask both large and small businesses and self-employed people to complete a questionnaire. The results of this survey provide insight into economic growth and are used by business, government and science.
Submitting data
You can submit the data via a secure internet connection. To access the internet questionnaire, go to https://antwoord.cbs.nl. The user name and password are given in the letter you received. Have you lost the login codes? Request new login codes here.
Completing the questionnaire automatically
With the Reference Referentie Grootboekschema (RGS) feature, you can complete parts of the questionnaire automatically. This may require you to adjust some settings in your accounting package. See how this works (in Dutch only).
