Furzer Crestani - COVID-19 Update - JobKeeper 3.0

As a result of the tougher COVID-19 restrictions recently imposed in Victoria, on 7 August 2020, the Federal Government announced adjustments to the JobKeeper Payments (now known as JobKeeper 3.0).

The main amendments of JobKeeper 3.0 are: 

1. Adjustments to employee eligibility, i.e. the relevant date of employment is now 1 July 2020 (was 1 March 2020 in JobKeeper 2.0); and 

2. Adjustments to the Decline in Turnover Test, i.e. business now only have to demonstrate their actual GST turnovers have significantly decreased in the previous quarter (was previous 2 quarters in JobKeeper 2.0).

We have also published this summary, along with our previous updates, on our website Resources page.

Keep safe and kind regards
