Self employed furnished holiday. lets

Hi, just used the Gov.uk self employed income support scheme eligibility checker, and found I’m not. Checked with my accountant who thinks the Gov have got this wrong as my profits are recorded as ‘trading income’ on my tax returns. Having spoken to a few other ‘Glampsite’ owners, it seems that we are all in the same situation. We can’t open due to social distancing, have submitted tax returns for many years, yet aren’t eligible....any thoughts??!!

It could just be a bug in the system. A number of people are getting told they don't qualify. Leave it a day or so and check again.
If anyone declares similar income as furnished holiday letting income, that does not qualify for SEISS.0 -
thanks Jeremy. My only income is the profit from the business which is recorded as ‘trading income’ on my tax return. Are you aware of any way of challenging this? My friend who is a plumber will receive SEIS plus he is allowed to continue to work!!!0
