Hi so is this definitely the case? It was my initial understanding...for example claim ERNI under JRS for say months 1-4 then trigger EA for months 5-12 deducting any JRS claim already made..i asked HMRC about this on a webchat where i got the answer yes thats correct then after much deliberation he had a total uturn and said no this couldnt be done. I then called employers helpline to be told I cant trigger EA part way through the year as it will automatically put the £4k credit on the account and any claim ive made under JRS should be adjusted for by reducing my next JRS claim in order to claim EA. As a bureau this is making matters very confusing over what to do. I hope im right in just triggering after furlough...Should we maybe be calling HMRC and restricting EA to the £4K less ni claimed already under JRS? What if £4k has already been claimed on JRS just dont trigger EA at all? Help!
Hi you would need to average the earnings according to actual weeks worked in the tax year not just /52. If you use sage an average earnings report will do this for you if not a spreadsheet using formulas of total earnings/weeks worked with give you the answer
