2. Copies may be sold on a Sale or Return or Firm Sale basis

1. If copies are sold on a sale or return basis and at the time you submit your circulation claim unsold copies could still be returned or reported you must make an estimate of final sales. If an estimate is made:

   1. You must adjust your claim in the following period to reflect any difference between the estimated net sale and actual net sale

   2. You may account for unsold copies on a transactional basis (i.e. when they are reported for credit). This must be done on a monthly basis as a minimum.

   3. You cannot claim sales of back issues.

Reporting

You will report Other Countries sales as one figure for print copies and one figure for digital copies, which will be broken out on the ABC Certificate.
