Urgent action required by employers now! Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS)

9th April, 2020

HMRC have announced that the online service for claiming a grant for wages paid to furloughed workers under the CJRS will be launched on 20 April 2020.

Before you can claim you must have a Government Gateway account and enrol for PAYE online. This PAYE online account will be used to claim the grant.

If you already have a Gateway account you can enrol for the PAYE online service by selecting the option ‘PAYE for employers under ‘Services you can add’ on your Gateway account. You may have enrolled already if you registered as an employer online. We suggest you check that you can access your account and activate this service as soon as possible.

If you do not have a Government Gateway Account you must now enrol as a new user immediately. It can take up to 10 days for your registration to be activated. Instructions are at: https://www.gov.uk/paye-online/enrol

The Gateway Account is your personal account and should be set up by you, not us as agents. If you require us to make the claim on your behalf, you will need to provide us with your Government Gateway ID and Password, which we hold on file securely. As part of the registration process you will be asked for your contact details, including a telephone number. A code will be sent to that number each time you or we sign in. It would assist us if the code were sent to our Jacobs Allen dedicated phone number, which we can provide on request.

Please contact Jacobs Allen if you need any assistance.

Something to shout about

You are obviously very knowledgeable and able to relate your expertise in an easy to understand way. We will definitely use Jacobs Allen Chartered Accountants again and believe that it was a relatively small amount of money, well spent to have this financial and tax review.

Outstanding service and knowledge. Very highly recommended. We met with Keith Senior for advice relating to starting a new business in Bury. Keith met with us for close to an hour at no charge and provided both a referral and excellent advice. Everybody we met has been a pleasure to deal with and we feel much more confident moving forward with our plans. You will be in good hands with this firm.

I chose to come to Jacobs Allen for advice as I felt you as Chartered Accountants were clearly knowledgeable yet very approachable, friendly and welcoming. To have all of my queries dealt with so professionally in a relaxed manner allayed any concerns I had about my tax affairs, past present and future. Your advice giving me a clear plan of the actions I have to take and your offer of assistance to put it into practice helped enormously in focussing my attention on building my business.
