Here is what TAPS have to say on the matter at this time.: https://www.payroll.com.au/
Yesterday the ATO announced a new JobKeeper payment for employers. Under the JobKeeper Payment, businesses impacted by the Coronavirus will be able to access a subsidy from the Government to continue paying their employees. Affected employers will be able to claim a fortnightly payment of $1,500 per eligible employee from 30 March 2020, for a maximum period of 6 months. For now, there are three things you need to know. 1. At this stage it is just an announcement. The legislation still needs to be passed. 2. If your business has been affected by COVID-19 you can register your interest with the ATO at https://www.ato.gov.au/general/gen/JobKeeper-payment/ 3. Information on how to apply and pay your employees will be available soon. TAPS is meeting with the ATO today to provide consultation and to gather more information. We know you have lots of questions, but this announcement was only made yesterday by the PM, it is still not law, and there are still things that need to be worked out. Stay tuned for more information |
