In general there are two types of missing. The ones caused by a skip or filter in the question; in which case the respondent was not asked the question at all. And the other type of Missing (coded 9, 99, 999....), where the information was omitted due to an interviewer's mistake.
The best way to determine the type of missing information is to check the questionnaire, and observe the skip pattern if any. This will allow you to identify which ones are the result of a skip, and which ones are the result of omitted information. This general rule applies to all questions.
