Furlough Scheme over-claims

10th June 2020 By bespoketax

Furlough Scheme over-claims

HMRC’s guidance makes it clear that any business that makes an error in making a Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) claim must pay back any amount over-claimed. Any claims based on inaccurate information can be recovered by HMRC.

The CJRS application claim form has been updated and now allows businesses to advise HMRC if they have identified previous errors and over-claimed. If you confirm that your business has been overpaid, the new claim amount will be reduced to reflect this overpayment.

HMRC has also clarified what will happen if you have made an error in a CJRS claim and do not plan to submit further claims. HMRC is working on a process that will allow employers to let HMRC know about these errors and pay back any amounts that have been over-claimed. HMRC will update their guidance when this option is available.

Employers must pay the full amount they are claiming to their employees, even if the company enters administration. If the employer is unable to pay employees what they are due, the monies will need to be repaid to HMRC. The same applies in relation to employer NICs and pension contributions.

It is important to ensure that all claims made for furloughed employees are accurate. Employers are required to keep full records relating to any CJRS claims (including adjustments) for a period of six years.
