            Secondly, where GST data has not yet been received, we forwardcast the two-
            monthly equivalent GST values using the corresponding movements derived
            from the simple two-monthly filers, until the reference quarter in which the
            two monthly filers have filed their GST returns.

                Then we apply the modelling ratio, which have already been derived for
            transforming two-month filers to obtain the estimated quarter GST value of
            the  six-monthly  filer  of  interests.  The  six-monthly  data  has  been  through
            several data manipulations, therefore evaluating the quality of the estimates
            is complicated. However, as the contribution of six-monthly filers subject to
            this method is generally very small, the estimates do not have material impact
            at output level.
                Combined sources approach - The combined sources approach uses the
            GST data in conjunction with data from other sources (either administrative or
