Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): With the re-emergence of COVID-19 in the community, the Government is again moving quickly to cushion the blow for businesses and workers. Yesterday, I announced criteria for a new nationwide wage subsidy covering the period that Auckland is at COVID-19 alert level 3, along with the removal of the revenue drop test for the COVID-19 Leave Support Scheme and an extension of the mortgage deferral scheme from its current end date of 27 September to 31 March 2021. The criteria for the new wage subsidy are similar to the current extension: a business must have had or is predicting to have a revenue drop due to COVID-19 of at least 40 percent. For this new scheme, the revenue drop applies for any consecutive period of at least 14 days within 12 August and 10 September compared to last year. These measures will help support cash flow and confidence while we take the necessary public health measures to bring the virus back under control.
