Claim up to £7,500 in the 1st Claim
In what is set to be a lifeline for PCO industry, the Government has announced it will continue to support self-employed workers throughout this month, all the way up until April 2021.
The Self-Employment Income Support Scheme has been given an extension, providing much-needed support during these uncertain times. Two further grants will be accessible, each one covering a 3-month period:
- Grant 1 – November 2020 to January 2021
- Grant 2 – February 2021 to April 2021
The first grant was previously capped at £3,750 but has now been doubled to £7,500, having been calculated to cover up to 80% of an average 3-month’s earnings.
Are YOU Eligible for the Grant?
To be eligible for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme, you must meet the following criteria:
-
- You have worked in the tax year of 2019 to 2019, and have submitted your Self-Assessment tax return on or before 23rd April for that year
- You have worked in the tax year 2019 to 2020
- You intend to continue working in the tax year 2020 to 2010
- You are still actively working
- Have experienced reduced demand due Covid-19 restrictions since 1st November 2020, until the date of your claim.
By looking at your profits in the last 2 to 3 years, HMRC will then calculate how much you should be entitled to.
