The measurement of response burden started in 2001. Since then, Statistics Austria has succeeded in reducing the time required by Austrian enterprises to complete the questionnaires by 15.0 % - despite the fact that additional surveys have been included since 2001. In 2022, 50 197 companies out of a total of around 475 000 companies were required to report to one or more Statistics Austria surveys, 1 915 more than in the previous year. Small businesses are predominantly released from reporting obligations because of cut-off values. Therefore, response burden is concentrated for larger enterprises. 60.4 % of all enterprises with reporting obligations had reporting obligations for one survey only, 24.7 % for two and 14.9 % for three or more. The time required by Austrian companies to fill in the questionnaires from Statistics Austria was around 732 450 hours in 2022 and thus around 3.3 % below the value of 2021.
