Conduct: Between March 2020 and September 2021 Mark John Ibbotson (“Mr Ibbotson”) caused M&M Sign Solutions Limited (“M&M”) to provide information to HMRC that he knew, or ought to have known was inaccurate, in order to receive a higher level of payments claimed under the coronavirus job retention scheme (“CJRS”) than the company was eligible for. In that; • The CRJS scheme was brought in during the coronavirus pandemic and designed to allow employees to retain their positions. The Government paid 80% of their previous wages. • The claims had to be based on the pay which had been submitted to HMRC on a full payment submission (“FPS”) to HMRC for the 2019-2020 tax year by 19 March 2020. • M&M made a claim for payments for Mr Ibbotson under the CJRS based on monthly pay of £1,400 per calendar month. In total 19 claims were made. • Following a check on the company’s claims for CJRS, HMRC found that Mr Ibbotson’s regular pay for the 2019-2020 tax year was £800 per calendar month. The first FPS received by HMRC showing pay of £1,400 per calendar month for Mr Ibbotson was on 26 March 2020. • Therefore, payments for Mr Ibbotson under the CJRS should have been based on £800 per month and not £1,400. • HMRC then raised an assessment which included at least £9,120 being the amount which had been overclaimed for Mr Ibbotson under the CJRS At liquidation on 30 March 2023 the assessment including the £9,120 remained outstanding.
