JobKeeper Payment scheme

The JobKeeper Payment scheme was a subsidy for businesses significantly affected by coronavirus (COVID-19).  

Whilst the JobKeeper Payment scheme concluded on 28 March 2021, the final date for any payment is 31 March 2022. There are limited circumstances where payments may be made after this date. These include where you have lodged an objection with the ATO to its JobKeeper eligibility decision on or before 30 November 2021, and either: 

• the ATO’s objection decision says you are entitled to a JobKeeper payment; or 
• a Court or the Administrative Appeals Tribunal hands down a decision that says you are entitled to a JobKeeper payment. 

The ATO cannot make a JobKeeper payment after 31 March 2022 to any entity that did not lodge an objection to its JobKeeper eligibility decision on or before 30 November 2021. 

Please refer to the ATO website for more information about the scheme. 

If you have a new dispute about JobKeeper, we may decline to investigate

We may be unable to resolve your JobKeeper Payment scheme dispute before the final payment date of 31 March 2022 due to the timeframe required to conduct an IGTO investigation. 

Accordingly, we may decline to investigate your JobKeeper Payment scheme dispute unless you have lodged an objection to the ATO’s JobKeeper decision on or before 30 November 2021.
