JobKeeper allowances plummet by 40 per cent after tax for some people

JobKeeper recipients are still being taxed at normal rates on their $1,500-a-fortnight government allowance. 

A Sydney man, who earned a high income before being laid off, was left with just $900 per fortnight after being taxed 40 per cent of his JobKeeper allowance. 

This is even lower than the dole before tax, which is $1,100 every fortnight under the current JobSeeker allowance. 

'We're grateful for anything, but $450 per week doesn't cover the mortgage and car loans, so there's nothing left for food or any utility costs,' the man told

He said it was 'misleading and dishonest [for the government] to boast about giving $1,500 to families' when he was only receiving $900.
