uin	57925
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2020 answer text <p>For an employee to be eligible for the CJRS they must have been notified to HMRC on a real-time information (RTI) submission on or before 19 March. Those paid annually are eligible to claim, as long as they meet the relevant conditions including being notified to HMRC on an RTI submission on or before 19 March 2020, which relates to a payment of earnings in the 2019/2020 tax year. Anyone paid annually and notified on an RTI submission after that date will not be eligible for the scheme, which puts them in the same position as those who are paid more frequently and were not notified to HMRC on or before 19 March. The 19 March date allows as many people as possible to be included by going right up to the day before the announcement and mitigates the risk of fraud that existed as soon as the scheme became public.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 58016 58044 question first answered 15/06/2020 14:03:51 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
