Warning: This information may not apply to the current year. Check the content carefully to ensure it is applicable to your circumstances.

The Business Perceptions Survey (BPS) is conducted with business operators. It captures the views of businesses across the micro and small to medium enterprise (SME) segments. From May 2009 the BPS has been administered on an annual basis with a sample of 1,500 businesses drawn from ATO databases.

This survey explores:

  • perceptions of the ATO's performance, image, and upholding of the Taxpayers' Charter
  • attitudes towards deliberate non-compliance
  • key business issues such as compliance effort, activity statement experience, and record keeping.

The overall aim of the BPS is to provide the ATO with an independent monitor of business perceptions and attitudes towards the ATO and our administration of the tax system.
