SEISS Question

dmc445

Hello, I have had two small events that could not go ahead 1) Due to the fact it was an in person event and the second had an event that was tried to be done online but couldn't go ahead and organisers will try for an in person event next year. The first was going to be in August and the second was going to in October. However, my earnings I don't think have taken a dip due to one or two other projects that I have been able to go ahead. Am I eligible for the SEISS second installment or not?

If you can point to contracts lost that would have happened without coronavirus, your business has been adversely affected by coronavirus. Keep detailed records in case of questions in the future.

I have claimed the first and second SSEIS grants as a sole trader whose income has been affected by coronavirus. I am now due to move house to a new area and fully intend to restart my business. I am unable to claim any benefits as will have a small amount of savings from sale of house and although I have paid my full quota of NI contributions for the past ten years as self employed, they are of the wrong sort for any benefits. My question is will I be able to claim the third grant and maybe the fourth? As I previously said I fully intend to restart my business. Help please.

Is an email from the person cancelled the event enough?
