Fresh analysis comparing how much companies received in JobKeeper with what they paid in dividends shows some shareholders substantially benefited from the taxpayer-funded wage subsidy.

Medical imaging company Integral Diagnostics was transparent in its investor report, reporting taking $6.6 million in JobKeeper after tax.

"We stopped receiving JobKeeper in September, yet there have been several instances since where we have continued to pay our employees despite them not being able to work due to government shutdowns." "We will continue to assess the ongoing impact of COVID-19 in 2021, including assessing any net positive benefits from JobKeeper receipts and the potential return of a proportion of the receipts once the uncertainty of COVID-19 has abated," he said.
