gross receipts

Pre-deduction earnings

Gross receipts are the total revenue a business takes in before any deductions for expenses, returns, or allowances.

The term appears frequently in tax contexts, where businesses must report gross receipts to determine tax liability: Businesses with gross receipts under a certain threshold may qualify for simplified accounting.

Unlike net income, gross receipts reflect raw intake rather than profit.
