    Just a note or a reminder that Job Keeper is an assessable income, so don’t go and spend the whole lot as we are being encouraged to, or you could be in for a nasty surprise.

    That’s a good reminder Bert. No doubt many will forget but unfortunately the ATO won’t. Not exactly hard from them to audit given the payments came from their system.

    If I spend it on business stuff, then the expenditure is tax deductible, right?

    I live-chatted the ATO the other day (thanks ATO for SBA) and the person I chatted to expected JobKeeper to appear automatically in MyTax. That would have been nice!

    The funds you receive are taxable.
    Tax deduction rules apply.
