    Different problems in different areas around the country,i have been knocking work back for the last year and still now.I'll pick up the cream jobs when they come along so i can unload some.Was passing work to another contractor for any hedge trimming or yard clean ups until a customer told me he offered them a cheaper rate for trimming if they'd get the lawn round,he no longer gets leads from me and i just say i can't recommend anyone now.

    Are you a Sole trader ?

    Im a company/businesses with a employee.

    The money i got is the Boosting cash flow for businesses money its from 20k - 100k depends on your BAS statements.

    I dont believe sole traders will get that Boosting cash flow only company/businesses.

    Maybe check with your accountant

    You get the cash if you're a small to medium business that has made payments to employees subject to withholding in previous BAS period , whether you're a sole trader or company

    And doesn't matter if sales are up or down

    "Free money" haha

    i get another accountant it is very clear and very easy to get the job keeper.We had a record 3 months then hit a stop in april due to our school running out of funds plus a few businesses that have gone down.The ato site clearly states that you can use april figures as a projection and from our schedule that was easy to predict so we applied and will get it until we come back to full strength .The process took less that a min to apply and all needs to be done is a declaration that you will be 30 % down.Only have to state it once as the pay in arrears that is payment made in May for aprils turnover so when you come to the line you can stop payments if business jumps up...we have a partnership so only one get the payment , the other is eligible for job seeker but we are happy with job keeper only , besides there too much jumping through hoops for the seeker payment.

    There's 2 different types of payments mentioned here. One is called the boosting cash flow for employees, the other is the job keeper payment

    Follow the links for both (and others) here:
