THREE MONTHS AGO, Paschal Donohoe and Micheal McGrath delivered the new coalition’s first Budget, the largest in the history of the State.
The Budget aimed to help the economy recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, with headline announcements including a €4 billion allocation for health, supports for businesses, and further increases in carbon tax.
Measures like that carbon tax increase and a hike in the price of cigarettes took effect from 14 October, but many more won’t be implemented until tomorrow.

Change to EWSS rules could see firms lose eligibility

Businesses on the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS) could lose eligibility for the programme if they fail to provide Revenue with a six month sales projection before the end of the year.
It comes as Revenue published new eligibility criteria last Friday, following the enactment of the Finance Act 2020 last month.
Businesses will be required to compare financial projections for the period from January to June 2021, to actual reported turnover for the same period in 2019.
Revenue said that reasonable, evidenced based assumptions made to prepare the projections which form the basis of the eligibility review will be accepted.
