So... just to clarify. The 80% of salary (paid to employers, so not a public fund) applies to workers furloughed. This includes a change in job contract to include being furloughed. So someone made redundant doesn’t qualify for the grant.
I have no information on how this will be policed. Seems ripe for abuse.
I do know many businesses are also able to extend their various tax deadlines.
Give hmrc a call if concerned.
And if you’re eligible for universal credit, sign up sooner rather than later!!
The covid helpline number at hmrc is: 0845 366 7888. It is not ‘toll free’. No idea why not!
I have no insider knowledge
none. We get told a day after everyone else... ugh.
