  • Changes to National Accounts: Imputed Rental

    Explains the improvements to data sources and methods in the calculation of owner occupied imputed rental. These will be introduced when revised figures for the UK National Accounts, consistent with Blue Book 2016, are published on 30 June 2016.

The United Kingdom Statistics Authority has designated these statistics as National Statistics, in accordance with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and signifying compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

Designation can be broadly interpreted to mean that the statistics:

  • meet identified user needs
  • are well explained and readily accessible
  • are produced according to sound methods
  • are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest

Once statistics have been designated as National Statistics it is a statutory requirement that the Code of Practice shall continue to be observed.
