NSW Covid-19 Business Support Grants
If you are confused about the NSW Covid-19 Business Support Grants, don’t worry you are not alone.
Here is my understanding of the NSW Covid-19 Business Support Grants as at 17 August 2021. I will update this when the rules are changed. Note your business may be eligible under multiple options below.
Business has revenue over $75,000, and total annual Australia wages of less than $10m – Covid 19 Business Grant
Note your business must be registered for GST on or before 1 June 2021.
The grant amount depends on the decline in revenue your business experiences. This is determined by comparing your revenue in the two weeks in the period 26 June to 17 July 2021 compared to:
- the same period in 2019, or
- the same period in 2020, or
- the 2-week period immediately before the Greater Sydney lockdown commenced (12 June to 25 June 2021)
The tax free grant is:
- $7,500 payment for a decline of 30% or more in revenue.
- $10,000 for a decline of 50% or more or more in revenue.
- $15,000 for a decline of 70% or more or more in revenue.
This is a once off payment designed to cover the first 3 weeks of lockdown.

Business has revenue between $75,000 and $50 million – JobSaver

From 18 July 2021 you may be entitled to a tax free rebate of 40 percent of your weekly wages. The minimum is $1,500 per week up to a maximum of $100,000.
To be eligible, your revenue must be have experienced a decline in turnover of 30% or more due to the Public Health Orders over a minimum 2-week period in the current Sydney lockdowns, compared to
-

- the 2-week period immediately before the Greater Sydney lockdown commenced (12 June to 25 June 2021).
And you must maintain your full time, part time and long term casual staffing level as of 13 July 2021.
If you don’t employ staff, the payment will be set at $1,000 per week from 18 July 2021.
Note it is conceivable you get no money for the period pre 18 July 2021 (Australian wages above $10 million) and then get this support.
