Government Support – did you get what you were entitled to?
2020 was a year of unprecedented events. In response, the government introduced support programs that were rushed through to assist businesses through these times, JobKeeper and PAYG Cash Boost. Now is the time to check that your business got what it was entitled to. Our experience with clients has shown that some businesses may miss out if they don’t review their accounts. It’s a good time to speak to your advisor and make sure you get what you’re entitled to.
