Furlough was extended to 31st March 2021.

The furlough scheme is to be extended for a further month from the 1st November 2020.

You cannot claim Employment Allowance against furloughed workers, and this is for the whole of the tax year.

Furlough claims are changing from August as you can no longer claim for employer’s National Insurance Contributions or pension payments, so the amount that can be claimed is reducing.

There are changes proposed with the way employer’s National Insurance is calculated for the period of July. The proposal is more in line with the original guidance issued up to the 20th April.

There have been several changes announced for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme coming in from 1st July.

As part of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme from 1st July 2020 workers can return to work on reduced hours whilst remaining furloughed.
