    He needs to get HMRC to pay the grant now. HMRC don't take account of amendments to returns after 26 March 2020, but I would strongly argue you filed in good time, and the UTR error was just an administrative glitch.
    Thank you, I will get on to him and see what he can do. 
    I have a feeling though that HMRC will just wash there hands of it and say tough luck 🥺

    If these returns showed you had some tax or National Insurance to pay then it begs the question what has happened to any tax you have paid to HMRC?

    Or will you be getting a bill from HMRC?

    My accountant has now forwarded me on a copy of HMRC filling log which does show that the tax returns we done in plenty of time. I'm guessing it has something to do with the wrong UTR number but all the other details are correct.  Really don't know where to go from here
    Go through your paperwork and check if the UTR altered at any point - just for your own curiosity - it's at the top of all of your Self Assessment Statements.
    I don't know how easy it is to get them wrong but if it were me i'd be trying to see how this could have occured.

    I have done this.
    Seems to a mistake on my accountants end as they were all fine untill I changed to this accountant 2 and half years ago. 
    It would have been picked up but I never got a late tax return fine or received anything.
