Calculating the 30 % reduction in turnover for eligibility for SEISS Grant 4
To be eligible for the 80% SEISS grant rather than 30%, is it a case of having a 30% reduction in turnover in complete 2020-2021 tax year so (Apr 7th 2020-Apr 6th 2021) compared to turnover in 2019-2020 (Apr 7th 2019- Apr 6th 2020) ? If so, I'll need to calculate my 2020-2021 tax return quite soon.

Working from home - tax relief
Great help and advice from MSE on this. I used the HMRC microsite yesterday and got confirmation today of my tax code change (+£312 on my personal allowance) for 21/22. I put my start date as 23/03/2020 as advised by MSE. My question is how will I see this allowance retrospectively applied to the 20/21 tax year?

4th SIESS grant
I am self employed and have qualified for all SIESS grants up until now. I recently discovered when I received a fine notice from HMRC that my accountant forgot to press submit and my tax returns were not submitted until around the 17th of March. This means I will not qualify for the new grant which I am desperate for. Any…

SEISS 4 "Significant reduction in trading profits"?
Define "significant"? To apply, you’ll need to reasonably believe there is a significant reduction in your trading profits due to coronavirus between February 2021 and April 2021, and that you intend to continue to trade. Well I just added up my average profit for the last 3 months, and it came out at 65% of my average…

4th SEISS grant & Tax Return for 2020-2021
The 4th SEISS grant which is not payable until April or May will not come under the accounting period, despite containing two whole months of 'profits' (not turnover) that should be included in this tax year surely?
