Practical guidance

For tax work, the relevant question is usually which activity produces the largest share of income. That is the label the BIC is trying to capture.

If the activity is mixed, use the parent ANZSIC class first and then compare the nearby BIC codes rather than guessing from the title alone.

Frequently asked questions

What does BIC 22990 cover?

The code groups business activities under the ATO wording used for tax return workflows. It is the code to use when the business needs a practical industry label, not a broad industry explanation.

How do I know whether this is the right BIC?

Check the parent ANZSIC class, then compare the industry descriptions listed on the page. If the business activity sits elsewhere, the parent ANZSIC class will usually point you to the better match.

Why does the page show nearby BIC codes?

Nearby codes help you compare similar labels and avoid choosing a code that is too broad or too narrow for the underlying activity.
