Covid-19 Pandemic Supports

I want to ask about the tax treatment of the temporary wage subsidy scheme, TWSS, the way in which the liability will be calculated for 2020, the way in which it will be collected and the planned tax treatment of the payments in cases in where the liability due exceeds the unused tax credits for 2020. This is a significant worry for workers whose employers are benefitting from the TWSS and who may potentially face paying a lump sum payment at the end of the year or over a short period of time into 2021.
