Revenue has released updated guidelines on the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (“EWSS”). The updates relate to amendments (covered in Chartered Tax News last week) necessary to assist employers affected by the restrictions imposed between 20 December 2021 and 6am on 22 January 2022. The guidelines will be updated again by 7 February 2022 explaining how additional subsidies may be claimed. Subsidy rates are available on Revenue.ie.
It should be noted that no new employers can enter the scheme from 1 January 2022 and EWSS has been removed from eRegistration on ROS. Employers are reminded that if they wish to deregister from the EWSS from 1 January 2022, they should submit a request through ‘My Enquiries’ selecting ‘Employer’s PAYE’ and then ‘Employer’s PAYE General Enquiry’.
