The Treasury has now released a guide on the yet to be legislated JobKeeper payments, including the eligibility criteria. Some examples:

Partnerships – only one partner in a partnership can be nominated to receive the JobKeeper payments.

Trusts – only one individual beneficiary can be nominated to receive the JobKeeper payment.

Shareholders – eligible businesses that pay their shareholders for providing labour in the form of dividends will only be able to nominate one shareholder to receive the JobKeeper payment.

Directors – eligible businesses will be able to nominate one director to receive the JobKeeper payment – not as an employee.
