Under JobKeeper, employees were paid $750 a week from their employee, but as taxable salary.

Under its replacement, the so called “COVID-19 Disaster Payment”, employees who are in hot spot areas and who lose more than 20 hours a week get $750 a week paid to them by Services Australia (yes they have to apply for it themselves).

But a Bill that received Royal Assent today makes this $750 Disaster Payment Non-Assessable Non-Exempt.

Even better than JobKeeper…
