Control variable ESSENTIAL-99 at end-99N

In total, there should be 14 columns (last column in Excel: N).

File name should contain 'use_names' (e.g. STMA_use_names_2014.csv)

General requirements:

- The term 'Business type' is general (for example: Agric/Agro Products), while 'Business class' refers to the specific description (in many cases a 'category', for example: Category A - Producers).

- Empty cells are allowed, except where indicated as essential (code, rate).
- If necessary, insert empy columns or re-arrange columns in your spreadsheet. 
- Observe the number -99 at the right-most column as control variable.
- No commas or and-signs (&) or quotations (" or ') are allowed anywhere in your Excel data, as they work as delimiters in the CSV file. Delete or replace them in Excel.
- Data from the CSV file will overwrite data in the LUPMIS Revenue Database. If the cell in the Excel/csv file is blank, this will NOT overwrite/delete the LUPMIS revenue data.
- Alternative names help the import of business types and classes, if the class is un-known, but can be expressed in words in the comment column of the business field data.
