Furlough Advice & Support Team

In cases where HMRC refuse a claim or challenge entitlement at a later date on audit. The Government has said that documents have to be kept for 5 years so audit challenges will happen any time over that period.

Our dedicated and experienced tax and litigation teams can help you challenge that decision, under human rights and other legislation and, if necessary, by way of the special procedure of judicial review. For small and large businesses alike funding will be critical. Delays in getting paid under the Scheme and/or resisting clawback claims by HMRC, may be the difference between a business surviving or failing. If claims are wrongfully denied we can seek redress for the damage that delay has caused your business.

Employers now may have got to grips with the mechanics of Furloughing staff, but that is not the end of the matter.

Provisions regarding sickness, holiday and management do not cease just because an employee is on Furlough. The Scheme is also not going to last forever and given the complex legal landscape and specific timing requirements concerning redundancy, employers cannot delay in taking the tough decisions that businesses will face. The economic effects of the current crisis will not give free rein to employers and dismissals will still come under significant scrutiny. Do not manage your business through this turbulent period only to later let it become a casualty by failing to comply with employment law.

Not every business will survive. Where businesses are placed into administrative processes, if Furlough claims are refused by HMRC, insolvency practitioners will face the same challenges as businesses and need the same advice.

Furlough is unchartered territory. No-one can navigate that alone. The Furlough Advice & Support Team, has been specially developed to address the novel legal and economic issues that will arise. We are here to assist now.
