For businesses that are unable to qualify for the JobKeeper package using the Basic Test, the ATO has now released a link for businesses to apply alternative tests to determine eligibility for the JobKeeper package.

We have prepared a brief guide which you can download on this page or you can read the legislation here in more detail Coronavirus Economic Response Package (Payments and Benefits) Alternative Decline in Turnover Test Rules 2020


You will also find below examples of the various  calculation methods that apply to each of the alternate tests. Use these interactive graphs in conjunction with our guide which is available on this page.

The alternative tests will only apply to the  7 circumstances that follow.

  • ​Startups
  1. Business acquisition or disposal
  2. Business restructure
  3. Increase in turnover
  4. Affected by drought or natural disaster
  5. Irregular turnover
  6. Sole trader or small partnership with sickness, injury or leave
These tests are designed to be used to support cases where there may not be an appropriate relevant comparison period. If you meet the basic test, there's no need to go through the alternative test.
