COVID-19 Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme (TWSS) - Operational Scheme
From 4th May employers participating in the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme will move into the ‘Operational Phase’.
This means that some changes will take effect in the subsidy rates that you have been applying to employees participating in the scheme and to the refunds you have been receiving from Revenue.
These revisions will improve the subsidy for those employees whose Average Revenue Net Weekly Pay (ARNWP) for January and February 2020 is less than €500 and those whose ARNWP is in excess of €960.
From 4 May 2020 Revenue will inform employers of the maximum personal subsidy amount in respect of each individual employee on its payroll based on the employee’s ARNWP. This data transfer will be through a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file which can be downloaded through ROS.
Revised Rates of subsidy from 4 May 2020
