<p>It would not be appropriate for HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to publish detailed
information about their operational response during the COVID-19 outbreak.</p><p>
</p><p>HMRC will subject Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) claims to scrutiny
and use their usual compliance tools to carry out proportionate risk-based compliance
checks before and after payment to test the veracity of CJRS claims. HMRC will take
robust steps to prevent fraudulent claims being paid, to recover any payments made
to those who are not eligible, and to respond to those who make fraudulent claims.</p><p>
</p><p>In doing so HMRC will protect essential public services and livelihoods at
risk during these challenging times.</p>
