We are now in the fourth week of lockdown, due to Covid-19, and we want to reassure you that we’re still working as normal, and are available for you if you have any questions/concerns.
As new information becomes available, or deadlines begin to approach we will update you. Here are a few updates this week.
Self Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS)
The UK Government announced help for people that are self-employed through the Self Employment Income Support Support Scheme (SEISS). As part of this, they extended the deadline to submit 2018/19 from 31st January 2020 to 23rd April 2020.
You MUST have submitted your 2018/19 tax return to be eligible for this scheme.
Our Tax Department are contactable if you have any queries.
The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme
If you are an employer, you can now access the portal for The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme which opened on Monday. You’ll need to make sure that you have all the information ready before beginning your application. You can find more information here.
Financial Support Finder Tool
You may be eligible for loans, tax relief and cash grants. The financial support finder tool has been launched to help both employers and the self-employed find out what help is available for them by answering a few short questions. If you haven’t already checked, and aren’t sure if you meet the criteria for any of the schemes, check here.
