Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS)
H M Revenue and Customs has announced the Scheme will be opened for claims from 20 April 2020 and that they will be contacting businesses to advise them what they need to do. They are expecting phone demand to be beyond their capacity to offer a normal service. Therefore, the service has been designed to be self-serve with guidance in place.
We are ensuring we can directly support those clients we prepare payroll for. For all other clients we are keeping up to date on the measures being announced to allow us to provide guidance when requested.
