ATO Small Business Benchmarks

What are small business benchmarks?

Small business benchmarks are financial ratios developed from information provided to the ATO by businesses on their tax returns and activity statements. They are published for more than 100 different industries.

How can I use them?

You can use the benchmarks to help you compare your performance against similar businesses in your industry. They can help you identify if there is an issue with your record keeping if your business is outside of the benchmarks.

Where can I find the benchmarks?

The benchmarks are available on the Australian Taxation Office website. You can search for the benchmarks, or follow the link below:
