A warning has been issued to businesses and individuals who have used the government's furlough scheme as HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) begins clawback.

HMRC said it had arrested a 57-year-old male from Solihull, West Midlands, on Wednesday, in connection with the allegations and added it was the first such arrest to happen.
Now, tax and advisory firm Blick Rothenberg has warned that this could just be the start of more alleged fraudulent claims.
Fiona Fernie, a tax dispute and resolution partner at the firm said: "HMRC has started investigations into companies and individuals that it believes have fraudulently made claims under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), which has paid out more than 27bn.
She added: "The Government now intends to clawback as much money as possible from those whose claims were wrong.

As this is retrospective it will apply to all grants made under the scheme.
She adds that the legislation has been drafted with a view to it being enacted as part of Finance Act 2020 which is expected to become law later in July.
According to Fiona, HMRC have received over 3,800 reports of fraudulent claims under CJRS which has supported 1.1 million employers and 9.4 million furloughed jobs.
Fiona advised that it is " a good time" for companies to ensure that they have detailed evidence which demonstrates why they considered they were entitled to receive the grants, and how the funds were deployed.
The types of records which will be useful include:
Financial forecasts which support the reasons for making the claim;
Evidence that employees furloughed and in respect of whom claims were made, would have continued in employment if the pandemic had not happened;
Evidence that the appropriate amounts have been paid to furloughed workers;
Communications with employees notifying them they were being furloughed and the responses from employees providing their agreement;
Written instructions to furloughed employees confirming the need for them to stop working during the period when they are furloughed;
Evidence that non-furloughed employees have been made aware that they cannot involve furloughed employees in work;
Details of the procedures used in managing the changes in the implementation of the scheme from August; and
Details of the procedures for bringing back employees from furlough.
Chancellor Rish Sunak announced the furlough scheme back in March in a bid to protect jobs during the coronavirus pandemic.
The scheme will remain in place until the end of October but changes will be made from August and employers will be asked to start making contributions towards workers' wages.

According to reports, he was taken to hospital earlier after experiencing breathing difficulties - and was thought to be at risk of organ failure.
Writing to fans on Instagram, Katie said: "I can confirm Harvey is in intensive care and in the best hands and would like to thank the ambulance services and the hospital staff for the quick response and making him stable ."
A representative for Katie told The Sun: "His condition is very dangerous and Katie is terrified.

A source later told the newspaper that Katie was 'preparing for the worst.'
This is not the first health scare the 18-year-old has had in recent weeks. He was rushed to hospital at the beginning of July after experiencing 'pins and needles' chest pain at his sister Princess' 13th birthday.

The teen reportedly told his mum that the pain was so bad, it felt as though there were needles being pushed into his chest.
After he was picked up by an ambulance and taken to hospital, doctors ran a number of tests and they found that there was nothing serious to worry about.
According to medics, Harvey could have possibly pulled a muscle in his sleep which brought about the uncomfortable pain.
Harvey has a number of health conditions including Prader-Willi Syndrome and partial blindness.
He is also on the autistic spectrum.

Manchester United coaches advised their forwards not to spend as much time on the left wing in an attempt to enhance their attack .
Anthony Martial , Marcus Rashford , and Mason Greenwood have plundered 56 goals between them this season and if Greenwood , already on 16 goals , breaks the 20-goal mark it will be the first time since 1964-65 that three United players have done so in a single season .

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer initially settled on a front three of Martial, Rashford, and Jesse Lingard at the start of his reign but that was disrupted when Martial and Lingard succumbed to muscle injuries.

When it was suggested United were in the midst of developing a front three akin to Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar at Barcelona between 2014-17, Solskjaer clarified: "It’s not new for United.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-12--Pep Guardiola drops hint about rival interest in Man City CAS appeal

Pep Guardiola is expecting recognition of Manchester City 's innocence from outside the club if their Champions League ban is overturned .
The Court of Arbitration for Sport ( CAS ) will announce on Monday morning whether the Blues will be allowed to play in the competition next season or if the UEFA punishment will be upheld .
It will bring to an end almost two years of speculation where the reputation of the club has taken a battering , and their guilt has been assumed at least since February when their ban was announced .
City have also had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involve themselves in the appeal process .
Every other top-ten club apart from Sheffield United made an application to CAS in the early stages of the pandemic trying to ensure that the Blues could not use the global crisis to delay their punishment .
That had never been City 's intention , and as it has turned out the decision will be announced well before the Premier League or Champions League campaigns are finished .
Guardiola referenced the interest in their appeal from other clubs in his final press conference before the verdict @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to sleep because I can not do anything .

''
City 's manager has spoken several times over the last week of his confidence that the club will be able to play in the Champions League next season , matching the message that has come from the top since the beginning of the UEFA investigation .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are removed from previous actions of the club , Guardiola hopes that the decision on Monday will be followed not just by their participation in next season 's Champions League but with recognition from elsewhere that City have not done anything wrong .

Now we can not say anything else , '' he said .

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says it would be a 'black dot' against David de Gea's Manchester United career if he did not win the Premier League again.
De Gea, 29, is due to start his 400th game for the club against Southampton on Monday night, having overtaken Peter Schmeichel as United's record overseas appearance-maker against Aston Villa.
The Spain international is approaching a decade at United but has only won four major honours: the Premier League title in 2013, the FA Cup in 2016, and the League Cup and Europa League in 2017. Schmeichel, in contrast, collected five titles, three FA Cups, the League Cup and Champions League during eight years of dominance in the 90s.
De Gea has been named the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award a record four times but Solskjaer insists the Spaniard is desperate to add to his medals haul.
"Four hundred games, two more than Pete did," Solskjaer said. "He’s won the Premier League, he’s won the FA Cup, the Europa League, the League Cup, but that is probably not enough for him.
"I don’t think he will be happy until he wins the bigger trophies, and staying at Man United in this time and not having one more, I think that’s something that he will feel is a black dot in his career.
"He’s won his personal awards. I don’t think David is that type who cares about personal awards, I think he wants the team to lift big as well."
De Gea has struggled for form for upwards of a year and endured an error-strewn run-in last season that tested Solskjaer's loyalty. He has also committed high-profile mistakes this season but kept his place for every Premier League match.
United agreed a four-year contract with De Gea last year and the goalkeeper outlined his desire to stay at the club for 'many' more years amid intense competition from Dean Henderson. Despite De Gea's unconvincing form, Solskjaer has never considered dropping him.
"It did not cross my mind for one second. Not at all," Solskjaer stressed. "To be a Man United goalkeeper you have to have a strong mentality. David has a strong mentality and he has been here for so long that he is coming up to 400 games, and you don’t do that by being afraid of the limelight or being afraid of Old Trafford.
"You do that by walking out on to that pitch and showing them your quality and mentality and he is a strong character and I didn't see any good in taking him out at all, no.
"He has been fantastic, David, and since I have been here I have enjoyed working with him. He has come out and said that he wants to play many, many more years, maybe 10 more years. How long will he be able to stay at the top is just up to him because it’s a pleasure to watch him being humble enough to work hard with Richard [Hartis] and Craig [Mawson] and the other goalkeepers around the place."

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has not grabbed the headlines the same way as his team-mates have since the Premier League restart.
While Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial have received all the plaudits, Rashford has scored just once and assisted two goals.

Defensive frailties may trigger Ake move
Manchester United may have seven centre-halves in their squad, but there are question marks against all of them.
