Hello, I was wondering if anyone is in a similar situation regarding the 4th SEISS grant and possibly can advise what to do. I was newly self-employed 2019/20 and so the 4th grant is the first I've been invited to apply for. I got a letter on March 24th saying that within 10 days I'd be phoned to ask for ID and bank…

Hi my partner has applied for the final support grant for the self employed. However during the process he noticed that his application had been frauded and the bank details were for someone in Leister and the bank was also not outs but Barclays. After seeing this error my partner tried in vain to contact the HMRC to…

We purchased an experience day in May 2019, booked the day in August for following April, this was then cancelled due to Covid, we received and extension on the voucher and rebooked for November adding another 3 to the group. Again this was cancelled due to Covid. We have called now to rebook and they have said all they…

Hi ...can any one give me some advice plz Last year we could not fly with easyjet due to the pandemic so because I knew I would be going away this year and I opted for the vouchers. We booked our flights last week using the vouchers plus paid for an extra person as well and then Easyjet cancelled our flight which was…

Hello, apologies if this has been asked before but I'm due to go on honeymoon on 16th June ( moved from last year) My question is my wife and I cannot afford to pay for the Covid tests before we go and when we return, so therefore where do we stand? In our original booking ( a long time ago in pre-covid 2019) there was…

I took a 3 month payment holiday with nationwide back in march, despite being assured my credit file would not be impacted I get an alert today that they have recorded an arrangement to repay on my credit report. I am scared my other lenders will find out about this and close my accounts without realising this information…

Hi, I'm about to do our partnership tax return and am a little unclear as to how to proceed. There are 2 people in the partnership (me and my wife!) and she was eligible for the SEISS grants last year and I wasn't as I am receiving more than 50% of pay from my pension. I knew it was taxable so I included it in the profits…

Here's the catch: Parents booked airlines through our usual travel agent for a trip back in May 2020. Obviously, COVID happened and the Emirates cancelled the flight at the time. Travel agent asked them of their options by then - refund versus voucher. We opted for the refund. However, while in the process of getting said…

We made a booking at the end of 2019 pre covid for a sat-sat break for this Easter 2021 at a UK lodge site for £450, which obv couldn't go ahead as everything was still closed. The company emailed us a few weeks before stating this, and the generic email said if anyone had booked for Easter weeks, they would move it to…

This might not seem a lot to anyone reading this, but to me it's massive. I have PTSD. There, I said it. For years, I have thought that people walking by were looking down their noses at me, judging me. I went to the doc, he gave me medications that made the world foggy and me feel funny so I stopped them (yes, I know.…

Hi, I have a question about the SEISS 4 Grant. Since the qualifying period is February to April and the reduction of profit is to be calculated in the context of the whole tax year (20/21) how do I account for any money earned between April 6-30 2021 which is in the qualifying period but not in the relevant tax year?…

Hello, So my situation during the pandemic has meant, like many, that I've been working from home 99% of the time - I live with my parents so the increased electric, heating cost etc hits them, but wanted to claim it back for them. My boss [from my full-time employment] mentioned there was working from home a tax relief in…

So I booked with these cowboys for flights to Milan last April, obviously covid hit and they were cancelled, I contacted them to get a refund and they were not very helpful and told me to go to Ryanair. After months of nothing I got a chargeback on my CC, now directline flights are threatening me saying I didn't do things…

Hi everyone, I forgot to collect the sun codes for superday at alton towers. Does any kind soul have them and wouldn't mind sharing them with me please? And thank you 😊

I’m very confused about the 5th grant how do I know if I’m eligible? Will the 30% reduction in turnover be a comparison between 19/20 and 20/21 or between 20/21 and 20/22. Or even 19/20 and 21/22. Also does turnover refer to gross income aside from grants to date? I’m trading but with tiny income currently, although my…

If I go self employed, and then we go into another lockdown within 3 months would I be entitled to the same support as someone who has been self employed for 3 years.

Been refused grant 4 as hmrc didn't receive my paper return until after 2nd march, i did receive the other 3 with no problems. I was declared bankrupt in september 2019 and therefore my utr changed and i had to file my first return after discharge with a paper one. I did not receive this until mid Febuary 2021, i should…

I claimed the first three grants. They were based solely on my 2018-19 return as I wasn't self employed prior to this (and 2019-20 wasn't included). I have just claimed the 4th grant and they have calculated it on 2018-19 which they have said is 2017-18 for which no return exists, 2019-20 which they have called 2018-19 and…

Hi, I handed my notice in at work and they have told me I need to pay back all of the furlough I received, is this correct?
