The Boosting Apprenticeships Commencements scheme reimburses eligible businesses up to 50 per cent of wages paid to an apprentice or trainee, to a maximum of $7,000 per quarter.
The scheme applies to apprentices or trainees who commence training between 5 October 2020 and 30 September 2021.
During this period, any wages that are reimbursed under the scheme will be exempt from payroll tax.
