Businesses can find information about the scheme and how to register online at GOV.UK.”
Businesses may register if they:
• Sell food intended for the purpose of consumption on the premises when purchased • Provide their own dining area, or share a dining area with another establishment for eat-in-meals • Have registered as a food business with the relevant local authority on or before 7 July 2020
Businesses are not permitted to register if they:
• Are an establishment offering only takeaway food or drink • Are a catering service for private functions • Are a hotel that provides room service only • Are a dining service, e.g. packaged dinner cruise • Are a mobile food van or trailer
Any applications made on the basis of false or inaccurate information will have their registration revoked. In order to register, businesses will require:
• The Government Gateway ID and password for their business – if they do not have one, they can create one at the point of registration • The name and address of each establishment to be registered, unless there are more than 25 • The UK bank account number and sort code for the business – only bank accounts where BACS payments can be accepted should be listed • The address on the bank account for their business
They may also need:
• Their VAT registration number, where applicable • Their employer PAYE scheme reference number, where applicable • Their Corporation Tax or Self-Assessment unique taxpayer reference
For companies registering 25 or less establishments, they must provide details for each.
For companies registering more than 25 establishments, there is no requirement to provide details for each one. Instead, they can provide a link to the website containing details of each participating establishment, including the trading name and address. HMRC may also request a list with details of all participating establishments.
Registration is performed online, and there will be a searchable restaurant finder tool made available to the public prior to the scheme’s launch on 3 August 2020.

Potential greater redundancy protection for pregnant women and new mothers under proposed bill 14 July 2020 The Pregnancy and Maternity (Redundancy Protection) Bill 2019-21 was reintroduced to the House of Commons on 8 July 2020, and aims to provide pregnant women and new mothers with additional legal protections against redundancy. The bill, presented by Conservative MP, Maria Miller, will afford women greater protection from redundancy when pregnant, and also in the six months following their child’s birth. It will also provide enhanced protection from redundancy during periods of maternity leave. MPs and campaigners have been highlighting the fact that the outbreak of coronavirus means that there is increased risk of occurrences of maternity discrimination, and that this needs to be addressed.
