5th seiss turnover

Mrsspence345

Hello my husband is self employed and has just received an email regarding the 5th seiss grant. It says about comparing turnover from 19/20 and 20/21. He only started self employment August 2019 so hes 19/20 self assessment is made up of both employed and self employed earnings (only 8 months of self employed income) so I'm unsure how to work out hes turnover for 19/20 to compare to 20/21 if he's 19/20 turnover is only for 8 months and mainly throughout winter which is he's slowest work period? Both self assessment have been submitted April 2020 and April 2021 as he's a bricklayer and he's tax is through the CIS system so he submits every April and claims he's overpaid tax back.

If anyone could shed some light on this I'd be very grateful as information is very limited

"What you’ll need to make your claim

The fifth grant is different. In most cases, you’ll need to provide 2 turnover figures when you make your claim. We’ll use these to work out how much you’ll get.

You do not need turnover figures if you started trading in 2019 to 2020 and did not trade in the following tax years:

• 2018 to 2019
• 2017 to 2018
• 2016 to 2017

You can find out how to work out your turnover figures.

When you claim you’ll also need your:

• Self Assessment Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR)
• National Insurance number
• Government Gateway user ID and password
• UK bank details including account number, sort code, name on the account and address linked to the account

Only provide bank account details where a Bacs payment can be accepted. You may also need to answer questions about your passport, driving licence or information held on your credit file."

Thank you Jeremy that's very helpful to know! Now I just wonder how they will work out if he's entitled to the 80% grant or the 30% grant?

80%. See paragraph 5.1 and 5.3 of the Treasury Direction:
