    Earlier in the year hr said that there wasn't enough work for some of us in the office and we would be required to take a few days off here and there out of our annual leave. They said that because other sections of the business were still busy they didn't qualify for the government payment as there wasn't more than a 25% drop in revenue.
    Fair enough .

    Then last week at an online meeting we were told we should be aware that we will be tax liable for usc and paye for the monies received during the time we had off.

    This is two different stories and it sounds like the company tried to pull a fast one with us using annual leave days.

    There is always USC and PAYE on holiday pay.

    If you were not gettting a covid payment, you should not have been paid with out any deductions really, what did your payslip show at the time, unless it was a salary advance...

    The tax and usc was paid as per usual. Annual leave days were taken. We are paid fortnightly

    I cant understand why we were told we have tax implications for covid payment due in January when in fact we used annual leave as directed. We didn't receive any covid payment

    There has to be a mix up along the lines

    Those are two different statements, which one were you told? The first is true, liability exists as per any other payslip, and usually deducted at source. The latter doesn't make sense if you didn't get any covid statement, so should be easy enough to clear up

    Is it possible that some departments received TWSS and not yours? And that the comment about being liable for tax in 2021 only applied to them? Either way, you will need to query with HR why they're saying you're liable for tax on the TWSS when you never received it. Hopefully it's just a miscommunication and they'll be able to give you a clear answer.
