Self-Employed Income Support Scheme Follow-up

The Self-employed support scheme is up and running weeks ahead of its original schedule

From 8am today those eligible have been able to apply for a SEISS grant worth 80% of their average monthly trading profits.

Payments, to be paid in a single instalment covering three months and capped at £7,500, are expected to land in bank accounts by 25 May, or within six working days of each claim.

Eligible Self-employed and Partnership workers will be given a specific date and time slot on which to make your claim on a day between 13-18 May, based on your unique tax reference number.

You should have been given the specific date to apply on when you checked on HMRC’s online checker as per my previous email.

If you are yet to do this, I would suggest you follow the link and do ASAP.
