Methodology - ICT in the public sector

The Czech Statistical Office gathers and processes data on contact points of the Czech POINT and their use as the number of the system outputs, on new established data boxes, and on the number of performed transactions by means of the data boxes from open data of the Digital and information agency.

The CZSO takes data on the number of tax forms submitted electronically to the Financial Administration of the Czech Republic by means of the web application EPO (electronic tax forms, e-Tax) or through data boxes from open data of the Financial Administration of the Czech Republic.

A valuable source of information on the internet use for communication with public administration is also a separate annual statistical survey named Sample Survey on the ICT Use in Households and by Individuals carried out by the CZSO.

The reference period for data on individuals is the last 12 months prior the survey interview.
