Eligibility at a glance

Before applying

Before applying, you should review your eligibility and gather information or evidence to support your application.

If you are not eligible, the ATO recommends prioritising employee wages and super guarantee obligations, keeping lodgments up to date, and paying what you can as soon as possible. If your business owes money, you may still be able to set up a normal payment plan through ATO online services.
