JobKeeper payment
Has your business suffered a decline in income due to the Coronavirus?
If your business has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic (ie you’ve had a significant fall in turnover), you may be eligible to access the JobKeeper payment to assist you to be able to retain and continue paying your employees. You may also be eligible for the payment yourself as a sole trader or owner/operator of your business.
Eligible employers are businesses (including companies, partnerships, trusts and sole traders). In order to receive a payment, both the employer and employee must meet eligibility criteria.
Eligible recipients include Sole Traders and business owners who are actively engaged in running of their business such as a Partner, Company Director, Shareholder or Trust Beneficiary. Further information is available at the ATO:
