JobMaker Hiring Credit Deadline

Employers can receive up to $10,400 per year for each new job they fill between 7 October 2020 and 6 October 2021 with an eligible employee aged 16 to 29 years, and up to $5,200 a year for each eligible employee aged 30 to 35 years.

The first JobMaker period ran from 7 October 2020 to 6 January 2021, and claims for this period must be submitted by 30 April 2021.

Deputy Commissioner James O’Halloran said: “As the deadline to claim for the first period approaches on 30 April I encourage all employers to see if they qualify for the scheme, and if eligible, claim the JobMaker Hiring Credit payments.

“Employers who want more information can go to www.ato.gov.au/jobmakerhiringcredit or contact their tax or BAS agent,” Deputy Commissioner O’Halloran said.
