The Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamics Database (CEEDD) is a set of linkable files maintained by Statistics Canada to provide linkage between employees and employers in the Canadian labour market. This linkable employer-employee dataset is based on processed administrative data sources from Statistics Canada (StatCan), Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

The construction of the CEEDD takes advantage of various administrative data sets that can be linked at the person level and job level using individual's Social Insurance Number (SIN) and employer's Business Number (BN). The population of the CEEDD covers all individuals and firms that can be identified from the administrative files. A key feature of the CEEDD data structure is that it is a set of linkable files from different sources instead of being a single linked file containing all variables available from numerous linkages. Using unique personal and firm identifiers available on each linkable file, information at the employee and employer level can be linked across different component files over time.

Analysis using the CEEDD data can be done either on a cross-sectional basis―at a given point in time based on covariates drawn from the same year across different component files; or longitudinally―by tracking firms and individuals over time across different component files. In particular, with the longitudinal linked employer-employee data structure, employer-employee relationships can be monitored by following specific employer-employee pairings over time. Doing so allow analyses of worker transitions across employers, job tenure, and of the number of jobs held at some point in a given year by employees.

The CEEDD is created from the component files listed in Table 1, which allows researchers to access processed variables at the individual level, family level, job level, and firm level. A set of geographic indicators at the sub-provincial level that can be linked to postal code of the analytical files is also available to users. The CEEDD data provides researchers with: workers' and business owners' information using T1 tax forms and T2 corporate tax returns; job-level information using T4 records and Record of Employment (ROE) data; and firm-level information from the National Accounts Longitudinal Microdata File (NALMF) maintained by Statistics Canada. Sub groups of the population such as immigrants or temporary foreign workers can be analyzed using the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) and the Temporary Residents File from IRCC. Table 1 also outlines what type of data is available, its source file(s), and time periods available (which depends on the vintage). A new vintage of CEEDD is produced every year with updates from the most current information available.

The full CEEDD dataset is not publicly available to researchers because individual worker and firm observations are confidential under the Statistics Act. However, researchers can pay for custom cuts of the CEEDD linked files through Statistics Canada's Research Data Centers (RDCs). Information on the access process, application requirements and costing can be found on the RDCs' website. Inquiries regarding custom tabulations from the CEEDD linkage environment should be directed to statcan.asbproductionsupport-deasoutienalaproduction.statcan@statcan.gc.ca. Analytical output based on the CEEDD linkage environment can be found under Statistics Canada's Analytical Studies Branch Research Paper Series and Economic and Social Reports."

Introduction

The following describes the methodology used in the upcoming paper "Indicators of profit shifting by multinational enterprises operating in Canada" to be published on June 18, 2019. This methodology follows the one proposed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in its Action 11 Report to create a dashboard of profit shifting indicators.

Section 1: Disconnect between financial and real economic activities

Discrepancies between financial and real economic activity within a country can be a sign that income is not reported, and therefore not taxed, where it was earned. The two indicators in this section rely on data aggregated to the country level and a list of countries with favourable corporate tax rates to explore these discrepancies.

Data sources for Indicators 1A & 1B: Data about real and financial economic activity is from Statistics Canada's Balance of Payments program, specifically the outward foreign direct investment statistics (NDM table 36-10-0008-01) and the activities of Canadian majority-owned affiliates abroad (NDM table 36-10-0470-01). We also used Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by country from the World Bank (World Development Indicators).

To identify jurisdictions with favourable corporate tax systems, we used data about foreign subsidiaries of Canadian corporations collected by the Canada Revenue Agency using the T1134 Information Return Relating to Controlled and Not- controlled Foreign Affiliates.

BEPS Indicator 1A: Mismatches between stocks of Canadian outward FDI and GDP of recipient countries for countries with favourable corporate income tax rates

This indicator is designed to gauge whether a significant proportion of Canada's outward FDI is driven by tax minimization. It compares Canada's outward FDI stock in 2016 to GDP of countries receiving the investments, for countries that have a favourable corporate income tax rates, and for those that do not.

Methodology: BEPS research often uses effective tax rates (ETRs) to identify jurisdictions with favourable corporate tax rates, because it is a measure of how much tax is actually paid for each dollar of income.^{Footnote 1} To determine whether countries had a favorable corporate income tax rate, we used data from the T1134 return from 2011 to 2016 to calculate the ETR (taxes divided by income)^{Footnote 2} for each foreign subsidiary. We weighted these ETRs by the subsidiary's assets to calculate the average ETR for each country over the period. We sorted countries by ETR, and labelled countries with the lowest- ETRs and up to 20% of the total assets held by foreign subsidiaries as having favourable corporate tax rates.

We also labelled countries with slightly higher ETRs and between 20% and 25% of total assets as having favourable corporate tax systems if they appeared on a list of countries compiled by the United States Government Accountability Office (2008) to study corporate tax evasion that is commonly cited.^{Footnote 3Footnote 4}

We collected data on the 10 countries with the largest stocks of Canadian outward FDI from Statistics Canada's FDI statistics program, and obtained GDP for each of these countries from the World Bank's World Development Indicatorstable.

We grouped countries according to whether they had favourable corporate tax rates, and added up the FDI and GDP for each group. We presented the sums for each group as a proportion of the total.

BEPS Indicator 1B: Mismatches between assets, employment and sales for countries with favourable corporate tax rates

This indicator looks for discrepancies between asset ownership, employment and sales in foreign subsidiaries of MNEs operating in Canada which may be associated with tax minimization. It compares the ratios of employees and sales to assets in subsidiaries operating in countries with favourable corporate income tax rates to those that are not.

Methodology: We collected data on total assets, employment and sales for the 10 countries where the subsidiaries of Canadian companies had the most assets from Statistics Canada's Activities of Canadian majority-owned affiliate's abroad program.

We grouped these countries using the list of countries with favorable corporate tax rates from Indicator 1A. We calculated averages of employment and sales per billion dollars' worth of assets.

Section 2: Profit rate differentials within MNEs

MNE affiliates with low tax rates that are highly profitable relative to their group overall may suggest that some of the group's income was transferred to minimize taxes. The two indicators in this section are recreated from Action 11 of the OECD's BEPS Action Plan using data about MNEs operating in Canada and their subsidiaries abroad.

Data sources for Indicators 2A & 2B: We used financial data about foreign affiliates from the T1134 Information Return Relating to Controlled and Not- controlled Foreign Affiliates. The variables were assets, income and taxes, and data was available for 2011 to 2016.^{Footnote 5}

Financial data about the Canadian resident companies filling the T1134 return came from the T2 Corporation Income Tax Returns filed with the Canada Revenue Agency. The variables we used were assets, income and taxes for the same years where we had data from the T1134 available.^{Footnote 6}

Combining these data sources allowed us to get a picture of a MNEs financials in Canada and abroad. A limitation was that financial data on foreign parents of the Canadian reporting company and other affiliates of these foreign parents was not available.^{Footnote 7}

BEPS Indicator 2A: High profit rates of low-taxed affiliates of MNEs

This indicator compares income earned by MNE affiliates that are grouped based on how their profit rates and ETRs compare to their group. A high proportion of total income earned by affiliates with higher profit rates and lower effective tax rates than their groups is a sign of BEPS. This distribution of income suggests that MNEs could have strategically 'shifted' income to minimize taxes.

Methodology: The methodology for this indicator is adapted from Indicator 2 in Action 11 of the OECD's BEPS Action Plan. The OECD study used data from consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements of MNEs, and focussed on the largest 250 MNEs globally (OECD 2015).

Following this methodology, we calculated profit rate (income divided by assets) and ETR for each affiliate, and dropped observations with negative effective tax rates and income.

Next, we calculated profitability and ETR for each MNE group as a whole and compared the ratio of each affiliate to that of its group.^{Footnote 8} Based on these results, we sorted affiliates into the following groups (or quadrants):

Quadrant 1: Higher ETR, higher profitability,

Quadrant 2: Lower ETR, higher profitability

Quadrant 3: Lower ETR, lower profitability

Quadrant 4: Higher ETR, lower profitability

We then added up the income earned by the affiliates in each quadrant, and repeated the exercise for each year from 2011 to 2016. Since the results were variable year- over- year, we chose to present our result as an aggregate for the whole period.^{Footnote 9Footnote 10}

BEPS Indicator 2B: High profit rates of MNE affiliates in lower- tax locations

Indicator 2B compares the profit rates of affiliates within an MNE in low- tax areas to the profit rate of the MNE as a whole by calculating relative profit rates for each MNE, and combining these to create an average. If the indicator is above 1, profits are higher in low- tax areas than in high tax areas, meaning that MNEs may be shifting profits to minimize taxation.

Methodology: The methodology for this indicator is adapted from Indicator 3 in Action 11 of the OECD's BEPS Action Plan.

Following this methodology, we added up assets, income and taxes paid by affiliates to arrive at totals by country for each MNE group. We calculated the ETR by country for each MNE group by dividing the total tax paid by total income. Next, we ranked countries within each MNE by their ETR, and labelled the countries with the lowest ETRs and up to 20% of each MNEs assets as 'low-tax'.^{Footnote 11}

Similarly, we calculated the profit rate by country for each MNE group by dividing the total income by total assets. We weighted profit rates for each affiliate in a 'low-tax' country by the total assets in that country and combined them into an average profit rate for each MNEs 'low-tax' affiliates.

Next, we added up assets and income by affiliates to arrive at totals for each MNE group, and calculated the overall profit rate for each MNE by dividing the total income by total assets. To obtain relative profit rates for each MNE, we divided the profit rate for the low- tax countries where the group had affiliates by the profit rate for the MNE as a whole.

Finally, we weighted each relative profit rate by the MNEs assets and combined these to obtain an overall average relative profit rate.^{Footnote 12} We repeated the exercise for each year from 2011 to 2016. As with Indicator 2A, results were variable year- over- year and we chose to present them for the period as a whole.^Footnote13

We also calculated a weighted overall average relative profit rate for the 25% of MNEs with the highest relative profitability.

Section 3: MNE vs 'comparable' non-MNE effective tax rate differentials

BEPS Indicator 3: Effective tax rates of MNEs relative to non-MNE entities with similar characteristics

Unlike other BEPS indicators which focus on activities that reduce net income in countries where tax rates are high, Indicator 3 is designed to detect whether MNEs take advantage of their capacity to shift income to other jurisdictions, to minimize their tax rate. Lower ETRs for MNEs may also reflect non-BEPS behaviours such as the decision to carry out substiantial activity to benefit from certain preferential tax treatments (e.g. R&D tax subsidies, investment tax credits).

The indicator compares ETRs for two types of MNEs operating in Canada to ETRs for comparable enterprises without subsidiaries or parents abroad.

Data sources: We used consolidated financial statements of enterprises operating in Canada from the Annual Financial Taxation Statistics program, specifically the financial variables total assets, net income before taxes, and federal tax payable for 2011 to 2016. These data are consolidated at the enterprise level and cover activities that are 'booked in Canada'.

We also used a new 'flag' to identify MNEs^{Footnote 14} which was developed in collaboration with Statistics Canada's International Accounts and Trade Division. It relies on tax data to identify MNEs with affiliates abroad, and the data collected under the Corporate Returns Act to identify enterprises with foreign parents.

Methodology: The methodology for this indicator is adapted from Indicator 4 in Action 11 of the OECD's BEPS Action Plan. The OECD study used data from unconsolidated financial statements of MNEs and non-MNEs worldwide (OECD 2015).

To recreate this indicator for Canada, we set up the data for analysis by labelling enterprises as 'large' if they had over 25 million in total assets^{Footnote 15}. Following OECD methodology, we dropped all observations with negative total assets, net income, and taxes.

We calculated ETR^{Footnote 16} and profit rate for each enterprise, and sorted enterprises into six groups based on their characteristics: non-MNEs or enterprises without affiliates abroad (large and small), and two types of MNEs: Canadian- owned enterprises with one or more foreign affiliates (large and small) and foreign- owned enterprises (large and small). To discover whether differences between these 6 groups were statistically significant, we ran a regression that controlled for industry and profitability.^{Footnote 17}

We present our findings as the differential between ETRs for comparable MNEs and non-MNEs for 2016, because results were stable year-over-year.

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey's purpose is to collect information on the scientific activities of higher education sector organizations in Canada. This sector is composed of all universities, colleges of technology and other institutions providing formal tertiary education programs, as well as all research institutes, centres, experimental stations and clinics that are affiliated with higher education institutions.

The research and development expenditures and personnel information is used by federal, provincial and territorial governments and agencies, academics and international organizations for statistical analyses and policy purposes.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel respondents to provide the same information, consent is not requested and respondents may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information on in-house research and development expenditures (Question 18) and in-house research and development personnel (Question 26) pertaining to higher education sector organizations located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations.

Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

If precise figures are not available, please provide your best estimate in full-time equivalents (FTE).

Full-time equivalent (FTE)

The organization's personnel is composed of full-time and part-time employees.

Full-time equivalent (FTE) = Number of persons who work full-time for the organization + part-time workers.

Example calculation: If out of four employees, one works full-time for the organization and the remaining three devote only one quarter of their working time to the organization, then: FTE = 1 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1.75 employees.

In-house research and development ( R&D ) expenditures

Before you begin

For this survey 'In-house R&D ' refers to:

Expenditures within Canada for R&D performed within this organization by:

• employees (permanent, temporary or casual)
• self-employed individuals or contractors who are working on-site on this organization's R&D projects.

'Payments for R&D performed by other organizations' refers to:

Payments made within or outside Canada to other organizations, individuals or companies to fund R&D performance:

22. In 2018, how were this organization's total expenditures of [amount] for R&D performed in-house within Canada distributed by nature of R&D?

Basic research is experimental or theoretical work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge of the underlying foundation of phenomena and observable facts, without any particular application or use in view.

Applied research is original investigation undertaken in order to acquire new knowledge. It is, however, directed primarily towards a specific, practical aim or objective.

Experimental development is systematic work, drawing on existing knowledge gained from research and practical experience and producing additional knowledge, which is directed to producing new products or processes or to improving existing products or processes.

In-house R&D personnel in 2018

24. In 2018, how many in-house R&D personnel within Canada did this organization have in the following R&D occupations?

Full-time equivalent (FTE)

R&D may be carried out by persons who work solely on R&D projects or by persons who devote only part of their time to R&D, and the balance to other activities such as testing, quality control and production engineering. To arrive at the total effort devoted to R&D in terms of personnel, it is necessary to estimate the full-time equivalent of these persons working only part-time in R&D.

Full-time equivalent (FTE) = Number of persons who work solely on R&D projects + the time of persons working only part of their time on R&D.

Example calculation: If out of four scientists engaged in R&D work, one works solely on R&D projects and the remaining three devote only one quarter of their working time to R&D, then: FTE = 1 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1.75 scientists.

General information

Confidentiality

Your answers are confidential. By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician and returning it with the completed questionnaire. Please specify the organizations with which you do not want to share your data.

For this survey, there is a Section 12 agreement with the Prince Edward Island statistical agency.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.
