JobKeeper extension 1.0

This extension period will run from 28 September 2020 to 3 January 2021.

You will need to show that your actual GST turnover has declined in the September 2020 quarter relative to a comparable period (generally the corresponding quarter in 2019). See the actual decline in turnover test.

You also need to have satisfied the original decline in turnover test. However, if you:

• were entitled to receive JobKeeper for fortnights before 28 September, you have already satisfied the original decline in turnover test
• are enrolling in JobKeeper for the first time from 28 September 2020, if you satisfy the actual decline in turnover test, you will also satisfy the original decline in turnover test (except for certain universities). You can enrol on that basis.

The rates of the JobKeeper payment in this extension period are:

• Tier 1: $1,200 per fortnight (before tax)
• Tier 2: $750 per fortnight (before tax).
