After you've made a claim

You can begin using your Employment Allowance as soon you submit your claim.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will not send you a confirmation letter for your Employment Allowance.

If your claim is rejected, you will receive an automated message from HMRC within 5 working days.

When your Employment Allowance counts as de minimis state aid

If you鈥檙e claiming for a previous tax year and have selected a business sector in your claim, HMRC will send you a letter. This will state that your Employment Allowance counts as de minimis state aid.

You must keep this letter as you may need it if you apply for other de minimis state aid.
