Small businesses may have been rejected for millions of dollars worth of government support despite being eligible. (Speed Media, Icon Sportswire) A new report published by the Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman (IGTO) has found that many new businesses missed out on the JobKeeper subsidy and cash-flow boost despite being broadly eligible. The review, published on Monday, found that the Tax Office didn’t provide the businesses with the opportunity to provide evidence to support their claim, and simply found them ‘ineligible’ instead. While the ATO has been aware of the issue since August, it has told the IGTO it will only rectify it for those who objected or appealed at the time.
