Update to Service NSW Small business fees and charges rebate announced – tolls to be added to the list of 500+ state and local government charges and fees that can be claimed, the cap will be raised from $1500 to $2000.
*Edit: you may have received an email over the weekend saying your 2021 COVID-19 JobSaver payment has been initiated.
We have no idea what they are doing. Either they forgot to cancel the scheduled email or they have decided to pay you anyway. Let us know if you received funds into your bank account!
Businesses receiving JobSaver support will need to reconfirm eligibility fortnightly and payment should be received within a week of confirmation.
You do not need to submit details, however you need to keep records on file in case of audit. Make sure you have reconciled all of your deposits before you complete testing.
Here in NSW we will have more freedoms next week, so what do you need to organise this week?
If you’ve had to stand down staff – do you need to make sure they are ready to return to work?
Are staff still home schooling their kids and can’t return just yet?
Have you got everything organised for next week?
It’s time to start preparing your September BAS
If you’ve decided to DIY your BAS, there are 2 possible due dates:
– 28th October if you lodge using the pinkish paper form
– 12th November if you lodge online in the business portal
Using our BAS agent extension – the due date is 25th November
Hopefully the light isn’t on oncoming train,
or the tax man with a torch….
What does this mean for businesses receiving support from ServiceNSW?
JobSaver and Micro Business Grant will wind down

July-September super contributions must be received (by fund) by 28th October.
Ensure all pay runs are processed for the September quarter, before you attempt to make payment.
Closely held employees (owners and their families) will also need to be included.
Don’t forget minimum rates of super should be 10% of wages.
The Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements program will extend support into the second and third year of an eligible Australian Apprenticeship through the Completing Apprenticeship Commencements program.
You should have received a payment yesterday for the period 3-26th September, so there is no need to do anything just yet. We are hearing reports of bugs in the system, so probably best to sit tight for the time being.
Businesses receiving JobSaver support will need to reconfirm eligibility fortnightly and payment should be received within a week. You can only confirm at the end of the period, if you need time to get your accounts up to date, you can submit more than one declaration at a time.
