HMRC - COVID-19 Update

Dear x

We want to help you get ready to make your claim under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme when it goes live from Monday 20‌‌ April.

There’s now updated guidance on how to calculate your claim and a simple step-by-step guide.

There will also be a calculator available when the system goes live on Monday for you to check your calculations online before you make your claim.

Please have all your information and calculations ready before you begin your application. If you have a payroll provider, they will be able to help you with this. You should retain all records and calculations in case we need to contact you about them.

Please only call us if you can’t find what you need on GOV‌.UK – this will leave our lines open for those who need our help most.

We wish you all the best at this challenging time.

Yours sincerely

Jim Harra

First Permanent Secretary and Chief Executive – HMRC
