    That's the problem- I earned nothing except the grants in 20-21.

    You should therefore keep evidence to hand that you actively sought trading opportunities, in case you are asked.

    Perhaps also worth e-mailing the companies you historically worked with (if you haven't already) checking if they have any projects/jobs anticipated to be coming up as we come out of lockdown and offering your services to discuss if that would be helpful.

    The answer may be no but you're demonstrating you're still looking for that work.

    Why do you think that your camp site business income should not be declared as self-employment earnings?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Yes: the OP stated:

    'The business I have set up will give me an income but it can't really be declared as self employed. It's a camp site!'

    The question is what is the nature of the income derived? Is it rent, or for services, or both?

    I  from property
    I believe it is classed as income from holiday property on my tax return. I was told the reason for this is it is seen as income from an investment. It is on land I own and also live on and the accommodation is provided- they don't pitch their own tents.

    I have done a bit of reading up on it and apparently it is a bit of a moot point if it is seen as a trade or income from property.

    Even furnished holiday lettings that meet the minimum occupation criteria are not trading for SEISS purposes.
