Member States shall analyse the feasibility of using fiscal audits to improve the exhaustiveness of GDP estimates. This analysis shall be carried out at least every five years, starting with the 2025-2029 GNI verification cycle.
1. Member States shall describe the results of the analysis referred to in Article 16 in the GNI Inventory, starting with the GNI Inventory following the 2025-2029 GNI verification cycle. 2. This description shall conclude whether the fiscal audit information may be used to make adjustments for misreported production and income (quantitatively) or to determine the patterns of such misreporting (qualitatively). 3. If exhaustiveness adjustments are made based on the fiscal audits (quantitative use), the description shall explain the manner of adapting the information derived from the fiscal audits to fit this purpose, and the value of the adjustments shall be stated. 4. If fiscal audits are used qualitatively, the description shall explain the manner in which the identified patterns of misreporting are applied to exhaustiveness adjustments derived from other exhaustiveness methods. If fiscal audits are not used in the exhaustiveness work, the description shall explain the underlying reasons.
