For some casual workers, JobKeeper has been meant a big jump in their income.

JobKeeper was set at 70 per cent of the national median wage, with many workers asked receiving an effective cut if they were earning more than $1500 a fortnight.
Mr Oakes works about 16 hours a week at Canberra’s Muse restaurant. Since the government’s pandemic response was launched, he’s receiving roughly twice his usual weekly pay.
“The concept of it all and the ethics of the situation have been quite an interesting thing for personal reflection for me,” he said.
“On the one hand I’m getting money from the government. Anytime the government wants to give you money it’s fantastic, and I’m not going to complain.
“I feel like I have paid enough money in tax over the last 10 years that maybe this is a nice chance to get a little bit back.
“But I also grappled with the negative side. I work in a small team and there’s people who haven’t got any support because they were casuals, despite working in the job longer than me and doing more shifts a week than me.”
Mr Oakes said he would be supportive of the policy regardless of his own situation and was spending the extra money with local businesses to help the economy.
Before moving from Melbourne this year, the 31-year-old had run his own hospitality businesses.
“Balancing what’s right and what I should do is hard,” he said. “It has definitely been an interesting and reflective time for me, thinking about the government giving you money.”
Mr Morrison on Friday said JobKeeper enrolments had topped 6.1 million this week, with another 1.6 million people are on the JobSeeker payment, meaning more than half of the entire workforce is being supported by the government.
The government has resisted calls to make wholesale changes to the now fully subscribed and demand-driven scheme. It will be reviewed by Treasury in June and changes are expected.
One option could be extending the September 27 cut-off, or tightening the eligibility requirements.
UNSW expert and Tax Institute senior tax counsel Bob Deutsch said there were problems with the JobKeeper scheme, leaving tax practitioners and businesses facing administrative challenges.
“Unfortunately there’s been a sort of drip feed of information. The ATO has tried to be as helpful as they can but there’s lots of issues,” he said.
“It’s nothing that is not expected, in my view, because we’re dealing with some reasonably complex concepts and complex legislation.”
Professor Deutsch said Tax Office instructions were helping businesses apply for the scheme but he expects audit action to find problems.
“With that information released, it will now be up to practitioners to make the appropriate interpretations of the legislation and decide who should apply for JobKeeper.”
