COVID-19 Tax Concessions, Key Dates & Fact Sheets


We understand that since 12 March 2020, when the Federal Government announced Stage 1 of its Stimulus Package, there has been an extraordinary amount of technical information released in relation to the various concessions available to assist individuals and businesses during these unprecedented times.

 

To help consolidated this information, we have prepared a Matrix to help summarise the following information:

·         Summary of each concession;

·         Key dates relevant for each concession;

·         What actions are required to access each concessions; and

·         Links to helpful Fact Sheet summaries, to expand each concession.

 

Our Matrix document can be viewed via our website - Click Here

 

Please do not hesitate to contact your Lowe Lippmann advisor if you wish to discuss any of these matters further.
