Government Incentives & Taxation Support
The government, through the ATO, has several initiatives to support the businesses and employers who have been impacted by COVID-19. These are some of the initiatives as at 10 September 2020, and we recommend you talk to your tax advisor regarding your particular tax situation.
|
Initiatives |
Description |
|
Payments made to eligible businesses and not-for-profit organisations affected by COVID-19 to help them retain employees. |
|
|
Temporary cash flow boosts (between $20,000 to $100,000) to support eligible small and medium businesses and not-for-profit organisations |
|
|
Instalments (including to $0) can be varied if the current amount or rate will result in overpayment of tax for the period due to COVID-19. |
|
|
If businesses are in a GST refund position, they can consider changing from quarterly to monthly reporting which means quicker access to GST refunds. |
|
|
Eligible GST-registered importers may apply to defer payments of GST on all taxable imports into Australia until lodgement of the activity statement. |
|
|
Payment deferrals |
ATO may be able to defer payment due dates and stop interest accruing for income tax payments due after 23 January 2020, fringe benefits tax and excise, and set up a payment plan. |
