Revenue has contacted the Institute to tell us that from 20 June 2022, all employers who claimed EWSS will receive a self-review letter from Revenue requiring them to conduct a final review of their eligibility for all subsidies and PRSI credit received. To assist, Revenue is providing an eligibility review calculator on its website. A sample of the text of the letter has also been provided by Revenue.
No further action is required where the employer is satisfied that all claims are valid and correct. Submissions to correct and repay any invalid claims must be made by 30 September 2022. Instructions on how to do can be found on page 30 of the Main EWSS guidelines.
Agents will receive a cover letter with a list attached, detailing which of their clients received the EWSS self-review letter.
Interest and penalties may apply to incorrect claims for subsidies and/or credits identified where Revenue undertake a review of EWSS eligibility at a later date.
