The Government has provided guidance on how to pay all or some of your grant back if you’ve overclaimed through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
If you have overclaimed through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, you can either:
- correct it in your next claim
- make a payment to HMRC (only if you are not making another claim)
What you will need:
- You will need your 14- or 15-digit payment reference number that begins with X.
- You must contact HMRC to get your payment reference number.
