DRAFT TOPIC - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE Content to come... To be eligible for JobKeeper payments, your business needs to show a fall in GST turnover compared to the same period a year ago. The required fall in GST turnover is: - 30% for an aggregated turnover of $1 billion or less
- 50% for an aggregated turnover of more than $1 billion
- 15% for ACNC-registered charities other than universities and schools
You only need to satisfy the fall in turnover test once. You don't need to test your turnover in the following months or quarters. For all the details on JobKeeper eligibility for businesses, visit the ATO website .
