Use our small business benchmarks to improve your business

Find out how your small business compares to others in your industry.

We’ve updated our small business benchmarks for 2021–22. The benchmarks help you compare your business turnover and expenses to other small businesses in the same industry.

For example, Deb runs a pizza shop as a sole trader. She’d like to track her business against other pizza shop businesses, and see how she can improve.

Deb downloads the ATO app and opens the Business performance check tool. She uses this tool to work out the cost of sales to turnover benchmark for her pizza shop.

It’s within the higher end of the range and above the average for pizza shop businesses.

Deb works out her main supply costs. She then negotiates a better deal to reduce her business expenses and improve profit.

Find out how your business is tracking against other small businesses in the same industry and compare your business now.

You can access our benchmarks through the ATO website and then calculate your benchmark using the ATO app Business performance check tool. For further information you can also refer to our example of how to Compare your performance.

Remember, a registered tax professional or BAS agent can help you with your tax.

网上避税手段日益猖獗:获取信息来保护自己免受非法税收计划的侵害

一些潜在的可疑税收计划正在网上进行推广,并在人们最意想不到的时候提供给他们。 我们敦促个人和企业警惕网上(包括社交媒体)宣传的税务计划,这些计划承诺大幅减税或避税。参与其中可能会受到严厉处罚。 我们的网站列出了我们关注的税收欺诈行为的例子。最近,我们发现一个非法税收欺诈行为鼓励人们通过设立所谓的非营利基金会来逃税在新窗口中打开并组织他们的财务,使他们的收入看起来就像是属于它的。 另一项近期计划为潜在投资者提供投资机会,投资一家据称符合早期创新公司资格的初创公司,从而享受相关税收抵免。我们担心投资者不符合这一资格。 此类骗局可能会引诱诚实的人,而这些人并不完全了解自己在做什么。参与其中是有风险的。 发现非法税收计划的发起人并采取行动是我们的避税特别工作组 (TAT) 的首要任务。TAT 行动的最近一个例子是联邦法院对我们调查的研发计划发起人处以 1360 万美元的罚款。 不要落入推广者圈套
