JobMaker Hiring Credits

JobMaker Information

The JobMaker Hiring Credit could mean that your business will receive payments for new positions you create.

Eligible employers will receive payments of up to:

  • $200 a week – for each eligible employee aged 16 to 29 years old
  • $100 a week – for each eligible employee aged 30 to 35 years old.

To be eligible, your business must meet criteria including:

  • holding an Australian Business Number (ABN)
  • being registered for pay as you go (PAYG) withholding
  • reporting through Single Touch Payroll
  • being up to date with income tax and GST lodgement obligations
  • not falling into any of the exclusion categories.

The new positions must increase both your employee headcount and payroll.

  • The total employee headcount must increase by a minimum of one additional employee from the date of 30 September 2020.
  • The payroll for the reporting period must increase compared to the three months to 6 October 2020.

There are specific dates relevant to both eligibility and payment. Check out the ATO website for more details.
