Support For Small Businesses Affected By COVID: The NSW Government announced a strong and swift support package for small businesses affected by COVID. They include: Dine vouchers be-ing able to be redeemed for take away and an extension of the program, Small Busi-ness Support Grants for businesses and sole traders employing less than 20 FTE (depending on turnover decline), Hospitality and Tourism Grants, available to tourism or hospitality businesses that have a turnover of more than $75,000 and an Australian wages bill of below $10 million (depending on turnover decline), more than $11 million for increased support for people at risk of homelessness and optional deferral of payroll tax payments due in July 2021.
“Whilst the Western NSW community is not in lockdown, the flow on affect to our businesses has been felt strongly and rapidly with cancellations, reduced capacities, income loss and a drop in business confidence,” said Business NSW’s regional manager of Western NSW, Vicki Seccombe.
“This will provide enormous relief to business owners who have suffered so much over the past 15 months and were slowly starting to bounce back. This latest development has been a hammer blow to them and their confidence, but at least they know some support is on its way.”
