We understand HMRC will be improving the information available to furloughed employees by including the details of claims which have been made for them (for claim periods starting on or after the 1st December 2020) in their personal tax account on GOV.UK.
Details of employers claiming through the furlough scheme will not be published if HMRC believe that by publicising the details it would result in a serious risk of violence or intimidation to certain individuals or any individual living with them.
HMRC will also not publish details of employers claiming through the scheme if these businesses can show that going public with their details would result in a serious risk of violence or intimidation to certain relevant individuals within the company, or any individual living with them. The list of individuals included can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-for-wage-costs-through-the-coronavirus-job-retention-scheme#history
Any employers who believe there is a serious risk of violence or intimidation from divulging their details, will need to contact HMRC and provide evidence of why they believe this. Evidence could include a police incident number, documentary evidence of a threat or attack such as photos, voice recordings or evidence of targeting or disruption.
