Reportedly, HMRC apologised to users in recent weeks noting: We re afraid our CJRS calculator on GOV.UK contained a software error, which we have now corrected.

The claim contained employees who were not on a fixed salary
Employee s pay for January 2019 was used as a reference instead of 2020
The employee s pay was different January 2019 to January 2020

Furlough fraud proved to be a significant issue in 2020 as it was estimated billions of pounds of taxpayer s money was lost due to a hasty roll-out of the Job Retention Scheme. In late October, Meg Hillier, a Chair of the Public Accounts Committee, warned: Our finding of the astonishing lack of economic planning for a pandemic shows how the unacceptable room for fraud against taxpayers was allowed into the Government’s hastily drawn up economic support schemes.
For the foreseeable future, families will need to continue to work from home where they can.
The government has launched many support measures to help with this where they can and several experts, including Martin Lewis, have highlighted generous work expense benefits that can be received by HMRC.
However, new data from ExpenseOnDemand has revealed only 20 percent of employees working from home are claiming relevant expenses.
Where an employer requires their staff to work from home, it can result in increased costs and as such, HMRC can step in to ease the burden.
