Requests for exemption from publication of furlough claims must be submitted by Monday 25 January
22 Jan

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has confirmed that the final deadline for employers to request an exemption from the publication of furlough claims will be this coming Monday 25 January 2021.
Shortly after it was announced in the autumn that the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) would be extended and reset to resemble the original scheme launched in March 2020, HMRC said it would begin publishing claims from December 2020 onwards.
The information to be published on a monthly basis includes:
- Employer names
- A banded indication of the value of the claim
- Company numbers (companies and Limited Liability Partnerships only)
The bands used to indicate the value of claims will be:
- £1 to £10,000
- £10,001 to £25,000
- £25,001 to £50,000
- £50,001 to £100,000
- £100,001 to £250,000
- £250,001 to £500,000
- £500,001 to £1,000,000
- £1,000,001 to £2,500,000
- £2,500,001 to £5,000,000
- £5,000,001 to £10,000,000
- £10,000,001 to £25,000,000
- £25,000,001 to £50,000,000
- £50,000,001 to £100,000,000
- £100,000,001 and above
HMRC has confirmed that this applies to all employers claiming from the scheme, including individuals, ordinary partnerships and trusts, unless they can demonstrate that doing so would lead to a “serious risk of violence or intimidation”.
HMRC requires evidence of such threats, which could include:
- A police incident number;
- Documentary evidence of a threat or attack; or
- Evidence of possible disruption or targeting.
To submit a request to HMRC not to publish your claim details, please follow the instructions on GOV.UK here by Monday 25 January. Details of claims will be published by HMRC on Tuesday 26 January.
