Archived CJRS guidance

28 October 2020

All of the archived guidance relating to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) has been made available on Gov.UK. This will be useful for anybody who wishes to check the claims that they made relating to periods ending on or before 30 June 2020.

This will be particularly helpful in the event that HMRC audits or checks a historic claim, as payroll professionals will be able to demonstrate which iteration of guidance they used to arrive at their calculation figures.

The guidance was archived on 3 August 2020 in recognition of the fact that 31 July 2020 was the final date for submitting claims in relation to periods ending on or before 30 June 2020. This was to ensure that guidance for submitting new claims was easy to navigate, and that only relevant information was available.

In order to locate previous versions of CJRS guidance while using the archive, the ‘Search’ function can be used by entering the URL relevant to the specific CJRS guidance page that an individual wishes to view, enabling access to saved versions of the page from each individual day since that guidance page was first published on Gov.UK.

A table is provided that gives a list of each of the main CJRS guidance pages:
