COVID-19 Wages Subsidy Scheme. A Moving Target.
Library of Knowledge No. 16
Since the announcement of the `COVID-19 Temporary Wages Subsidy Scheme` on 23rd March 2020, Revenue have issued 9 updates with V9.0 being released yesterday afternoon, a 49-page document.
An update has issued on average every 3 working days.
It is understandable as the scheme was announced in a rushed manner with little guidance on its application and tax implications.
For our payroll clients, our plan and aims remains as follows:
- To identify specific changes to the scheme.
- Liaise with software providers and expected updates.
- Raise any queries to Revenue for clarification.
- Identify clients and their individual employees for whom reworking or advice would be required.
- Contact clients and to provide solutions as necessary.
Please be aware that all amendments are carefully considered and addressed to ensure we comply with guidelines on your behalf.
We assure you of our best efforts, your patience is appreciated.
For any non payroll clients who require support/advice we suggest that you contact our office.
Stay safe and well.
