Hi all, In a squabble with the powers that be ie revenue,banks etc on this issue- revenue reckon 35%, banks do not know !! . The Actual % is working out in the high 20's. Traditionally it would have been alot more -around 36%.. Just wondering is there any current direct experience of this out there and in particular on the revenue view on the GP% on butchers ?
This is beginning to become a big issue on all retail trades due to the prevailing economic downturn.... Surely traditional margins have to be thrown out the window at this stage as alot of retailers are strictly in survival mode. Many Thanks
 
Hi

We only have one butcher client so don't know if I will be of any help
GP% 2011 was 31% and 2012 was 28%
Donegal based - no experience of Revenue looking at this particular business so cannot comment on that.
 
Thanks folks, Those figures are very much in line with the trends I have here ie high 20s for 12 and a struggle to maintain same for 13.
