Support Package
The Berejiklian government will offer payments of up to 
$10,000 to eligible businesses that have suffered 
turnover reductions as a result of state lockdowns, 
along with the deferral of some payroll tax and gaming 
tax liabilities to August.
New South Wales Treasurer Dominic Perrottet on 
Tuesday announced a business support package which 
will see small businesses with fewer than 20 full-time 
employees, and payrolls up to $1.2 million with 
turnover of $75,000 a year, receive support payments 
of up to $10,000.
The eligibility criteria have been broadened, though, for 
businesses in the tourism, hospitality and 
accommodation sectors, which will be eligible with 
payrolls of up to $10 million.
Businesses that suffer turnover reductions of more than 
70 per cent and meet the eligibility criteria will receive 
the full payment of $10,000, while those that suffer a 
reduction of 50 per cent will receive $7,000, and those 
that suffer a reduction of 30 per cent will receive 
$5,000.
Meanwhile hotel operators have been offered a 
deferral on the payment of their payroll and gaming tax 
liabilities until August.
The state’s budget, handed down by Treasurer Dominic 
Perrottet last week, allotted $5.1 billion for combating 
COVID-19, $800 million of which is set to be spent by 
the end of the 2021 calendar year.
“The NSW economy rebounded strongly from the 
challenges of 2020 and we’re taking action to ensure 
we keep that going,” Mr Perrottet said.
“We are deploying our fiscal firepower when it matters, 
by helping small businesses stay in business and keep 
people in jobs.”
The state’s support will be offered in addition to the 
Commonwealth’s COVID-19 disaster payment, which 
prime minister Scott Morrison said will be made to 
affected workers from 1 July.
Workers who are unable to work because of lockdown 
restrictions will be eligible for $500 a week if they 
normally work more than 20 hours each week, and 
those who work less than 20 hours receive $325 weekly 
until restrictions ease.
Eligible workers will include Australian citizens, 
residents and visa holders who are permitted to work in 
Australia and aged 17 and older.
