Furlough Scheme – HMRC has updated Guidance Today

Clarifying the position relating to notice payments and furlough payments.

The guidance was a little unclear about whether an employer could claim back furlough payments when they had decided to terminate a furloughed employee’s employment and given them notice.

The guidance now makes it clear that an employer “can continue to claim for a furloughed employee who is serving a statutory or contractual notice period, however grants cannot be used to substitute redundancy payments.”
