Businesses on the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS) will have to provide Revenue with a six-month sales projection within 10 days or lose their eligibility for the programme, the Irish Independent has learned.
Following updated guidance from Revenue on Friday implementing changes made to the Finance Bill by Finance Minister Paschal Donohue last month, employers claiming a subsidy under the scheme must now show a 30pc reduction in turnover will occur for the period January 1 to June 30.
Companies must make the calculation by December 31 and compare it to the corresponding period in 2019, demonstrating to Revenue s satisfaction that their business will still qualify for the supports under the new terms.
