    What are performance benchmarks

    These benchmarks use information reported on tax returns for the 2019–20 financial year. We update them each year. This is the most current data.

    The benchmarks show ranges of business income to business expenses. Use these benchmarks to compare your performance against similar businesses.

    Key benchmark range

    Total expenses to turnover is the key benchmark range for this industry. It is the most accurate when predicting business turnover.

    You should fall within the key benchmark range for your annual turnover. If you fall outside the range, there may be room for your business to improve.

    Check that you have reported all income and accounted for any trading stock used for private purposes. Some businesses can use accepted amounts as estimates for the value of trading stock used for private purposes.
