SEISS 4 - 19/20 tax year included?
I wanted to put the question out regarding whether the SEISS 4th grant might include trading profits from tax year 19/20, since by January 31, all tax forms for that year should be in theory submitted and the application for it should be after that. For me personally this would be a good thing as 2019 was a good trading…

Golf club membership
Apologies, as this is almost certainly in the wrong forum. What is your golf club doing regarding membership fees when the course is closed due to covid? When I started back playing in May 2020, they extended my membership by two months, which I thought was very fair of them. Just wondering what others experiences are?
