September Furlough Claim Deadline
September 2021 was the final month of CJRS Support from the UK Government as part of the COVID-19 support package. As such, this is your last opportunity to claim from the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (Furlough Scheme).
The deadline for submission for this final claim, is Thursday 14th October 2021.
You can submit your claim to HMRC here
What if I miss the deadline?
If you have missed any deadlines for claim periods from 1 November 2020 onward, HMRC may accept late claims if you have:
- A reasonable excuse
- Taken reasonable care to try and claim on time
- Claimed without delay as soon as you were able to
Examples of reasonable excuses would be:
- your partner or another close relative died shortly before the claim deadline
- you had an unexpected stay in hospital that prevented you from dealing with your claim
- you had a serious or life-threatening illness, including coronavirus (COVID-19) related illnesses, which prevented you from making your claim (and no one else could claim for you)
- a period of self-isolation prevented you from making your claim (and no one else could make the claim for you)
- your computer or software failed just before or while you were preparing your online claim
- service issues with HMRC online services prevented you from making your claim
a fire, flood or theft prevented you them from making your claim - postal delays that you could not have predicted prevented you from making your claim
- delays related to a disability you have prevented you from making your claim
an HMRC error prevented you from making your claim
If you’ve missed the claim deadline and have a reasonable excuse, you should use the service as normal. You can submit a request from the page where you choose your claim month. You should do this as soon as you’re ready to make your claim but only after the claim deadline has passed.
