For businesses with an average turnover of less than $1 billion, the decline has to be at least 30% and for businesses with a turnover that exceeds $1 billion, it must be 50%.  It has also been stated that on the 4th of January 2021, businesses that are receiving JobKeeper must confirm a decline of 15% for all quarters to the end of 2020 to continue receiving payments.
