Useful information regarding Governments Furlough scheme, for NBRA members

HMRC have been running a number of online presentations to help businesses during the pandemic. Today‘s presentation focused on the Corona Virus Retention Scheme (Furlough), which NBRA would like to share with members as a recap.

Some of the key points taken from the presentation include:

• Furlough will pay 80% of wages, but you still pay NI, pension and tax
• Maximum £2500 a month
• Recipients will be paid within 6 days of claim
• Needs to be claimed within 14 days of the payment period
• You can only make 1 claim per month
• You will need to keep written records for 6 months
