Well, had this through from my accountant yesterday. Something I suppose.
CORONAVIRUS FINANCIAL SUPPORT
FURTHER UPDATE FOR DIRECTORS OF LIMITED COMPANIES
We now have some clarity on the “furloughing” of director’s wages and can confirm that in certain circumstances 80% of this will be recoverable. The main conditions to be aware of are that during the furlough period, the director should not generate any business income or undertake any work on behalf of the company. Therefore, if a director is continuing to work this allowance will not apply (this aligns with the rules for employees). The minimum furlough period is 3 weeks and at the present time the maximum period has been set as 3 months. We will provide further detailed information in respect of this matter in the coming days.
