Claiming September JobKeeper Payments
To receive the JobKeeper Payment for September, a monthly business declaration must be completed between 1 to 14 October 2020. The earlier this is done, the sooner businesses will be reimbursed.
To be eligible to receive JobKeeper Payments from JobKeeper fortnight 14 onwards, businesses need to demonstrate a decline in actual GST turnover in the September 2020 quarter relative to a comparable period. This must be completed by the 31 October 2020 to determine and submit the decline in turnover information for the September 2020 quarter through ATO online services.
