This contributed to both positive reception on announcement and successful roll-out.”</p><p> </p><p>Details of ministerial and permanent secretary meetings with external organisations on departmental business are published on a quarterly basis and are available on GOV.UK.</p><p> </p><p>The Treasury continues to speak to stakeholders, and has met with representatives including from the ExcludedUK campaign group, the Chair of the Gaps in Support APPG, Refused Furlough Support Group, Forgotten Ltd, Maternity Petition and Forgotten PAYE, alongside MPs.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 10/12/2020 15:45:48 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

tabling member printed	John McDonnell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2020 answer text <p>For claims from 1 November, employers must have made a PAYE Real Time Information (RTI) submission to HMRC between 20 March 2020 and 30 October 2020 notifying a payment of earnings for that employee to be able to claim under the CJRS. This does mean that some annually paid employees such as directors, who were not paid between these dates will not be eligible for CJRS.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has balanced a number of risks by aligning the start of the eligibility period for the CJRS extension with the cut-off date for the original scheme, meaning anyone who has been furloughed previously and paid in line with the rules of the scheme can be furloughed again.</p><p>This ensures that individuals paid annually towards and following the end of the previous tax year who were not eligible for the original scheme can now benefit from the extension. Those paid annually are eligible to claim, as long as they meet the relevant conditions.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/12/2020 11:25:38 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
