COVID-19 Resources: Australian Tax Office

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Australian Taxation Office implemented several assistance measures for Australian businesses. These measures included:

• Boosting Cash Flow for Employers
• Enhancing the Instant Asset Write-Off
• JobMaker Hiring Credits
• Early Access to Superannuation

While these measures may not apply to the current financial year, they could be applicable to previous reporting periods. Weld Australia recommends that you seek professional advice from the ATO and your accountant.
