CJRS: Help for Small Company Directors & New Starters to gain furlough payments

Petition Details

Request the Chancellor to change the cut off date for RTI to HMRC from 19th March 2020 to 31st March 2020 enabling both Directors of Small Businesses on Annual Payroll and New Starters starting their new job in March 2020, to be furloughed

Additional Information

1: A company director on annual payroll only required to submit one RTI per year. Although the company has registered their annual PAYE scheme with HMRC, if the RTI has been submitted after the cut off date, 19th March 2020 (usually end of the tax year (31st March)), this prevents the director from being eligible for the CJRS.

2: New employee starts new job 1st March on monthly PAYE with payment due on 31st March. RTI not submitted until end of month preventing employee being eligible for CJRS.
