Updates to the existing Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme (EWSS), Covid Restrictions Support Scheme (CRSS) and other Revenue administered schemes were announced in the Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021 published on 22 June 2021. This Bill is currently before Dáil Éireann pending enactment and thus the details outlined below are subject to change.

EMPLOYMENT WAGE SUBSIDE SCHEME (EWSS):

The EWSS will be extended until 31 December 2021. For Q3, there will be some modification to widen the eligibility criteria and maintain the current rates of wage subsidy payments. The reduced rate of Employer's PRSI (0.5%) will continue to apply for those employees for whom a subsidy is being claimed.
