Repaying Overclaimed CJRS Grants to HMRC
HMRC have updated their guidance on repaying Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) furlough grants that have been overclaimed by employers.
Employers, or their agents, must use the online service to get a unique payment reference number before they can pay HMRC back.
Note that HMRC may levy a penalty if employers have overclaimed a grant and have not repaid it, and must notify HMRC by the later of:
- 90 days after the date you received the grant you were not entitled to.
- 90 days after the date you received the grant that you were no longer entitled to keep because your circumstances changed.
- 20th October 2020.

The CT600 corporation tax return has also been amended to require companies to report CJRS grants received and the amount they were entitled to. The updated form also requires the company to report any overclaimed amounts already repaid using the procedure above and the balance still outstanding.
Please note that this update is correct as of the 6th December 2021. If you have any questions on the topics discussed, please don't hesitate to get in contact.
