NOVEMBER 2020 - SEISS

What new measures are in place?
Following two support payments paid to cover a loss of income over the spring and summer, Chancellor Rishi Sunak has now confirmed a third grant for the self-employed on the same terms.

So, the taxable grant will cover 80% of profits for November, December and January, up to a total limit of £7,500 - paid in a single instalment. Applications will be open from 30 November for those who are eligible and have been affected by coronavirus.

The government's original plan was for this third grant to only cover 40% of average monthly trading profits, with a limit of £3,750 in total. This was then updated to cover 55% of trading profits, but just a few days later was extended again to 80%.

A subsequent - fourth - grant will cover a three-month period from the start of February 2021 until the end of April, with terms to be confirmed later.

Businesses will also continue to be able to apply to banks for government-backed support loans until 31 January, compared with a previous 30 November deadline for some of the programmes.

SEISS - CLOSING DATE - 19 OCTOBER 2020
The scheme 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 we give you. If you’re 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.

We will work out your eligibility for the second grant in the same way as the first grant.

You can make a claim for the second grant if you’re eligible, even if you did not make a claim for the first grant.

This scheme is being extended. Find out more about the extension to the scheme. This guidance will be updated as soon as possible.
