Re-testing FAQs

Is there a cut off date?

There is no cut-off date to complete this re-testing lodgement. Businesses can choose to re-test a number of fortnights together, or go back and complete the re-testing after a few fortnights. Businesses will drop in and drop out of the program depending on each fortnight’s eligibility.

Do I need to declare if I am no longer eligible?

Yes, Service NSW is asking recipients who are no longer eligible to declare as such. If it is found that a business received JobSaver when they were not eligible, the NSW Government may recover that payment.

Do I have to calculate if my business is not trading?

If your business is not trading at all, you do not need to do any calculations. You only need to complete the lodgement on the Service NSW website. However if you are trading, you will need to do the calculations before you complete re-testing lodgement.

Will I receive payment for September?

Service NSW has confirmed that all JobSaver payments will be made for the month of September, even if the businesses do not complete the re-testing requirement for this month. However, payment beyond September will stop until the testing requirements are completed for the fortnight listed above (13 – 26 September).

You will receive JobSaver payments fortnightly, backdated to the start of the fortnight you first experienced the required decline in turnover, on or after the commencement of JobSaver on 18 July 2021. 

Does my bookkeeper need to provide a letter?

You do not need your accountant or bookkeeper to prepare a letter of confirmation. However, you may ask us for assistance to ensure your calculations are correct.
