Revenue is deregistering a number of employers registered for the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS) who have not claimed the EWSS for pay dates after 30 June 2021. Notifications issued to each employer and their agent to advise of their deregistration through ROS. These notifications were expected to arrive last Friday (22 October) or today, Tuesday (26 October).
Following a review of employers registered for the EWSS, Revenue identified that a significant portion of employers have not claimed the EWSS in respect of pay dates after 30 June. The latest Covid-19 Support Schemes statistics indicate that 36,300 employers were registered for the scheme on 21 October, while the number of employers receiving subsidy payments in the months August, September and October (to 21 October) is 28,800, 27,400 and 20,400, respectively.
Employers who no longer qualify for the EWSS are required under section 28B(5)(b) of the Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Covid-19) Act 2020 to deregister for the scheme.
Revenue has advised Chartered Accountants Ireland that where an employer's circumstances change, such that they are eligible for the EWSS again, they can reregister for the scheme through ‘My Services’ on ROS, and comply with the Eligibility Review Form (ERF) procedures to facilitate timely payment of subsidies claimed for pay dates after the reregistration.
