Dataset(s): Profitability of UK companies time series

Return to 'Profitability of UK companies time series'

Provides files to download data as it existed for this dataset on previous dates.

Statistics are most often revised for 1 of 2 reasons:

1. For certain statistics initial estimates are released with the expectation that these may be revised and updated as further data becomes available.
2. Revisions may also be made when methods or systems are changed.

These types of planned revisions should not be confused with errors in released statistics, which are genuine mistakes. Such mistakes occur rarely and, when they do happen, corrections are made in a timely manner, announced and clearly explained to users in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics (Principle 2, Practice 7).

Important notes and usage information

Open periods are consistent with those in the quarterly national accounts and closed periods are consistent with Blue Book 2021 for total PNFCs.
