I’ve had a couple of queries about these help funds these days, particularly find out how to calculate the income drop. Keep in mind that it is usually a requirement to maintain data of how this data has been calculated.
For those who use Xero, creating the required stories is absolutely easy nonetheless in case you use MYOB or one other software program creating the stories will be fairly tough. Chances are you’ll have to run separate P&L’s as they don’t allow you to add the proper comparability intervals.
This requires your small business to indicate a 30% drop in income over a 7-day interval after an alert stage change and also you additionally want to fulfill the opposite eligibility standards. This income drop is in comparison with a typical 7 day interval inside 6 weeks previous to the alert stage improve. If your small business is seasonal you’ll need to check this to an analogous week within the earlier yr to indicate the 30% lower.
There are presently 5 RSP’s open. If you have not utilized for any funds and your small business was eligible you possibly can apply for all 5 now. Verify the IRD Web site to see what dates every fee covers.
If your small business is GST Registered you’ll want to embrace the RSP in your GST return.
For these utilizing Xero navigate to the Revenue & Loss report. Set the date vary for a 7 day interval (e.g. twenty fourth August to the thirty first August) and add comparability intervals.

This report can then be exported and revealed to save lots of as proof of the income drop.
To use for the Wage Subsidy your small business wants to indicate a 40% drop in income over a 14 day interval (e.g. 17 august 2021 – 30 August 2021), and this must be in comparison with a typical consecutive 14 day interval within the 6 weeks previous to the alert stage improve on the seventeenth August.
The Wage subsidy opens each 2 weeks and you’ll want to reapply each 2 weeks. Do not apply early or this won’t be authorised and you may’t apply for any earlier wage subsidies as these have a detailed date. There isn’t any GST within the wage subsidy so be sure that this isn’t included in your GST return.
You possibly can run the identical stories as above for the RSP nonetheless simply change the date vary to a 14 day interval and save the stories. MSD and IRD do ask for extra data in case you enterprise is new and you have not filed a return earlier than or in the event that they need to verify that you just aren’t making use of for the help fee whenever you aren’t entitled to them.
Ensure you run your stories and guarantee that you’re entitled to the help earlier than making use of. Verify shut dates for Wage subsidies and set reminders to make sure you do not miss out.
