Seiss grant eligibility. Can HMRC consider a late tax return 'on time' in some circumstances?
I'm in a bit of despair this morning. I've been relying on SEISS grants as a lifeline as much of my work isn't due to resume until summer. I thought I was fine for the 4th grant as I filed my tax return back in the autumn in good faith using the online system. I've used the system for several tax returns with no problems.…

Seiss 4
I'm trying to work out if we're eligible for anything through this scheme. I think we're not from my reading but maybe one of you knowledgeable folk know better.
