Check to see if you can claim a grant through the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme

 

The Government have now put up a link to allow the self-employed to start the process of claiming grants under the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme. This taxable grant could be worth up to £2,500 per month for 3 months, so £7,500 in total. Guidance can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-a-grant-through-the-coronavirus-covid-19-self-employment-income-support-scheme

 

To check your eligibility for a grant under the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme use this link and enter your Unique Taxpayers Reference Number (UTR) and NI number https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/self-employment-support/enter-unique-taxpayer-reference you will then be told if you are eligible and the date that you can apply from.
