Please note the Australian Taxation Offioce (ATO) has extended the time to enrol for the initial JobKeeper periods, from 30 April 2020 until 31 May 2020.
If you enrol by 31 May 2020 you will still be able to claim for the fortnights in April and May 2020, provided you meet all the eligibility requirements for each of those fortnights.
However, it is important to note that for the first two fortnights (30 March 2020 – 12 April 2020, 13 April 2020 – 26 April 2020), the ATO will accept the minimum $1,500 payment for each fortnight has been paid by you even if it has been paid late, provided it is paid by you by the end of April.
You can also enrol and claim for JobKeeper earlier if you choose. For example, you can enrol by the end of April to claim JobKeeper payments for the two fortnights in April.
