    Hi Fiona,
    We're hoping to have more information on how to handle Jobkeeper payment reporting in our software this week after we finalise all the details with the ATO.

    I assume that you are talking about GST codes and until we see the final directives from the ATO (who now have responsibility for the rules - having shifted from Treasury) we can't be certain. 
    For what it is worth I do not see the need for a new GST code, but I'm not writing the rules.

    Irrespective of special codes I am planning on having new Boosting Cash Flow and JobKeeper related account lines and items if for no other reason that I can easily identify these items in my financial reports.
