Ltd Company and Furlough Scheme

My accountant has told me this when I said I want to come out of furlough after the client messaged me to say they want me to do a handover for 1 to 2 days prior to terminating the contract:
"When you are furloughed, you should not be completing any work at all including looking for work (arranging to work), invoicing etc."
As I have been furloughed more than 3 weeks I do not see a problem, if necessary I can terminate the furlough as of the day prior to the official communication from the client,, then do that work then go back onto furlough again.
The invoicing point seems odd. I stopped work on contract on 20th March and raised the invoice on 3rd April. So it seems I cannot backdate my furlough claim to any time before that invoiceThis default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernamesComment

Arranging to do the work shouldn't be done in furlough. The minute you spoken to the client, email or other you are off.

If a normal employee was furloughed and their managed called them to let them know they will be required to come back to work in 2 weeks, should they be removed from furlough from that point in time? I don't think so, unless someone has some guidance I've missed.Comment

Originally posted by jamed View PostI personally think people are looking at this too technically. I can understand not working but "arranging to work" should not be the case to un-furlough oneself.

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostBut a contractors role includes selling, marketing and other activities as well as doing the role. Organising work is part of our work, it isn't for a permie.
Could argue in this case it's the director's role who is arranging for his "employee" to wrap up the engagement correctly.Comment

That's not part of a directors official responsibility.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
