DRAFT TOPIC - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE

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.

Working out a change in GST turnover

Use the ??? report in MYOB Essentials to compare your current monthly or quarterly GST on sales with the same period a year ago. You can then use the calculator in the Single Touch Payroll reporting centre to help work out the change in your GST turnover.

This is a basic GST turnover test which might not suit all businesses. For more details on GST turnover tests, visit the ATO website.

Let's step you through it.

To work out a change in GST turnover

First we'll obtain your GST turnover values for a period in 2020 and the equivalent period in 2019.

In MYOB, go to the Reports menu and choose All reports.
Click to open the ??? report.
Use the Dated from and Date to fields to choose the date range, for example the July - September 2020 quarter.
Choose your Accounting method (Cash or Accrual).
Take note of the ???. You might want to print or save this report for your records. Here's our example for July - September 2020:
Run the report again for the same period in 2019 to obtain the comparison values. You might want to print this report too for your records. Here's our example comparison values for 2019:

Now we'll use these values to determine your change in GST turnover using the calculator in the Payroll reporting centre.

Go to the Payroll menu and choose Single Touch Payroll reporting.
Click the JobKeeper payment extension tab.
Enter the values noted from your GST report and click Calculate. Any decline in GST turnover will be shown. Here's our example:
