New SEISS grants - eligibility question

jasonmriley

Hi - sorry if this has already been covered on the board. Has it been announced if the new SEISS grants will operate under the previous tax-filing deadline of April this year, ie if you didn't get the first two grants because you had incorrectly filed your returns as PAYE and these have now been corrected?

Hope that makes sense. Thanks.

Factsheet found here:

To be eligible for the scheme, self-employed individuals, including members of partnerships, must meet the following criteria:
• Currently be eligible for the SEISS (although they do not have to have claimed the previous grants)

Thanks, but I don't see an answer here in relation to my question. Unless I'm missing something?

You were (if I understood you correctly) saying you were ineligible for the first two grants because you had wrongly declared self employed income as PAYE/employment income. 

To be eligible for the third grant, you need to have been eligible for the first two (even if you didn't claim them).

So the answer, then, is the same deadline rulings apply?

Yes. Although the deadline for amendments was march, not april. It caught a lot of people out. 

10. For the purposes of SEISS, amounts of trading profits and relevant income are determined by reference to a person’s tax returns as at 23 April 2020 but no account will be taken of any amendment made to a tax return on or after 6pm on 26 March 2020 or any contract settlement.

Thanks for your help in clarifying this one.
