About this dataset
Tatauranga Umanga Māori – Statistics on Māori businesses presents information on one subset of Māori businesses – Māori authorities – that contribute to our country’s economy.
Method of collection/Data provider
This information is sourced from three data collections: Business Financial Data, Business Employment Data, and Overseas Merchandise Trade.
- Business Financial Data Collection is a quarterly collection of business financial data, covering most of New Zealand’s economy, using a combination of survey and tax data.
- Business Employment Data is a quarterly collection using a combination of data from two different Inland Revenue sources: the employer monthly schedule (EMS) and payday filing. Both are associated with PAYE (pay as you earn) tax data.
- Overseas Merchandise Trade statistics provide statistical information on the importing and exporting of merchandise goods between New Zealand and other countries. Merchandise trade includes goods that add to or subtract from the material resources in New Zealand as a result of their movement in or out of the country. Data is obtained from export and import entry documents lodged with the New Zealand Customs Service (NZCS).
