anketuarve

Anketuarve is a billing document used in market research and related services in Estonia. It is issued by a service provider to a client after the completion or partial completion of a survey project. The term combines ankete (survey or questionnaire) with arve (invoice).

Typical content includes a description of services such as questionnaire design, sampling, data collection (online, telephone, or in-person), data processing, coding, analysis, and reporting. It also lists quantities (for example, number of interviews or hours worked), unit rates, subtotals, value-added tax (VAT) if applicable, and the total amount due. The invoice contains dates, payment terms (for example, due within 14 or 30 days), and payment instructions such as bank details. It also includes client and project identifiers, and references to the contract or order.

Usage and practice: Anketuarve is commonly used for market research projects, opinion polls, social research, and academic studies contracted to third parties. Invoices may be issued per milestone, per completed interview, or on a time-and-materials basis, depending on the agreement. The term is primarily used in Estonian-language business contexts, with equivalent terms in other languages.

Legal notes: In Estonia, invoices must meet tax authority requirements, include supplier and customer information, VAT numbers if applicable, and be kept for accounting records. Data protection and confidentiality of respondent information may govern how survey data is handled and disclosed in the invoice or accompanying documents.
