HMRC Latest Update On Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme For Employers and Employees

6th April 2020

Issued by HMRC today 6 April 2020.

Dear customer,

On 27 March I emailed you to advise that the latest guidance on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme had been published at the links below, and we committed to keep you regularly updated.

Employers

Employees

I can now confirm that the employer guidance and guidance for employees have been further updated in line with some of the main queries we have received from stakeholders. Whilst all the guidance has been refreshed, the main areas I would draw your attention to are:

the more detailed information on scheme eligibility

further information on how to calculate a claim

clarification of what constitutes wages.

I would encourage you to please review the links above if you would like more information about the scheme.

We will continue to keep you informed to ensure that you have access to the assistance you need.

Note

The scheme is being revised regularly so anyone is advised to check it every few days as it is still being developed.
