The Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) allowed you to claim a first taxable grant. Applications for the first grant closed on 13 July 2020.
The second taxable grant is
worth 70% of your average monthly trading profits, paid out in a single
instalment covering 3 months’ worth of profits, and capped at £6,570 in total.
Applications for the second
grant are now open. Make your claim from the date HMRC give you. If you are
eligible and your business has been adversely affected on or after 14 July
2020, you must make your claim for the second grant on or before 19 October
2020.
The scheme is being extended
from 1 November. The grant extension is for self-employed individuals who are
currently eligible for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme and are
actively continuing to trade but are facing reduced demand due to coronavirus
(COVID-19).
The extension will provide two
grants and will last for six months, from November 2020 to April 2021. Grants
will be paid in two lump sum instalments each covering a three-month period.
The first grant will cover a
three-month period from the start of November until the end of January. HMRC
will provide a taxable grant covering 20 per cent of average monthly trading
profits, paid out in a single instalment covering 3 months’ worth of profits,
and capped at £1,875 in total.
HMRC are providing broadly the
same level of support for the self-employed as is being provided for employees
through the Job Support scheme.
The second grant will cover a
three-month period from the start of February until the end of April. HMRC will
review the level of the second grant and set this in due course.
The grants are subject to Income
Tax and National Insurance Contributions.
