2nd Self employment support scheme.

Hello.. could somebody please offer me some advice..I am a self employed window cleaner,  with mainly elderly customers. My problem is that I have lost work due to some of my customers not wanting me to enter there property to clean the windows on the inside and with me caring for my mother with health conditions i don't really feel comfortable inside their properties anyway. i have lost approximately 20 per cent of turnover..my question is would you say I am entitled to claim the second self employment grant.

    Yes.  Sounds like you are adversely impacted because of coronavirus

    Yes. That is, assuming you are registered as self-employed, as you'll need your unique tax payer reference number to apply. If you're not on the HMRC database, you won't be able to have it.

    If he wasn't on the database, he wouldn't have filed self assessment returns.
