This payment needs to be passed onto staff.
The Wages Subsidy August 2021 will cover the two-week period at the rate of:
• $600 a week for each full-time employee retained (20 hours a week or more);
• $359 a week for each part-time employee retained (less than 20 hours a week).

‘In addition to the Wages Subsidy you can claim the Resurgence Support Payment (RSP) if your decline in revenue is greater than 30%. The decline is measured over a seven-day period from 17 August,’ Davies adds
‘The RSP is for your business. The revenue must be actual revenue (not predicted). To determine whether you are 30% down you must compare with a previous period. The comparison is either with a typical seven-day period in the six weeks prior to 17 August.
‘Again if your business is seasonal (which most travel businesses are) you can compare with a similar period a year ago. ie August 2020.
‘Applications for the RSP will open at 8am on 24 August. You apply in MY IR, or your tax agent can apply for you.’
