Contract ending can I furlough?

[Lance]

Yes you can. I was on furlough from March to May for 2 months then I secured a contract. My accountant told me that I can apply to the furlough schema if I am not invoicing my client(s) anymore. After the end of your contract date you can apply.

I'm sure it's fine. But as a point of note, an accountant is not an expert in this. The accountant has interpreted the letter of the law to mean 'if not invoicing you can furlough'. That is absolutely not what the letter of the law is.
The tax man will almost certainly investigate every furlough claim, starting with the big ones and working down. And their interpretation will be different.

For just over £1000 it might prove not to be worth it.

If thats true, they will finish investigating sometime during the year 60000 as theres over 740k claims every month
