Reminder: Employment Allowance increase takes effect from 6 April 2022.
06 April 2022
Eligible employers can now start to claim for the 2022/23 Employment Allowance (EA) of up to £5,000. Once granted the allowance can be used until the £5,000 is used or the tax year ends (whichever is sooner).
EA can be claimed through the EPS, but there are alternative methods if this is not a possibility. Claims can be made at any point during the year, however the sooner it is claimed the sooner employers can make use of the allowance. Dating back to 2018/19, employers can claim for the previous 4 tax years if eligible.
Employers are reminded to check eligibility and apply the de minimis rules correctly when applying for EA.
