ACA continues to receive queries from our members about the latest changes to the JobKeeper Payment package.
The Australian Tax Office has recently provided a new webpage on the JobKeeper Payment here.
The new web content includes:
- definition of eligible employers
- how employers apply for the JobKeeper Payment
- which of your employees are eligible
- guidance for your employees
- guidance for your accountant/tax professional (if you use one)
Please note that when applying for the JobKeeper Payment, when you get to step 6, to complete this step you will need to determine who has access to the ATO Business Portal on behalf of your service.
If you generally rely on your accountant or tax professional to handle your service's general tax activities/processes, then he/she/they will have access to the Portal. Whoever that person is, they will need to access the ATO Business Portal to complete step 6 before the end of April.
