JOBKEEPER EXTENSION PERIOD TWO – STARTS 4 JANUARY 2021
The second extension period of the JobKeeper scheme will commence on 4 January 2021. Below we have listed the key dates and actions required by employers who are still accessing the scheme:
- 4 January 2021 – the JobKeeper extension 2 starts and the payment rates change for your eligible employees.
- Between 4 January 2021 and 28 January 2021 – complete the December business monthly declaration (this is an extension of two weeks past the usual due date of the 14th day of each month).
- By 31 January 2021 – new entities enrolling for JobKeeper will need to enrol and submit their decline in turnover to the ATO.
- 31 January 2021 – for JobKeeper fortnights 21 and 22 only (from 4 January 2021 and 18 January 2021 respectively), the ATO are allowing employers until 31 January 2021 to pay their employees (meet the wage condition).
- The sooner you complete and submit your decline in turnover and business monthly declaration, the sooner the ATO can process your JobKeeper payment.
