New HMRC Guidance on CJRS Furlough Scheme

On 6 May 2021, HMRC issued further updates on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) which employers need to take account of in preparing grant claims from 1 May 2021 onwards.

For periods starting on or after 1 May 2021, you can claim for employees who were employed on 2 March 2021, as long as you have made a PAYE Real Time Information (RTI) submission to HMRC between 20 March 2020 and 2 March 2021, notifying a payment of earnings for that employee.
