The second and final round of grants under the self-employed income support scheme (SEISS) open this month, offering a smaller lump sum grant.
From 17 August 2020, self-employed individuals who meet the scheme requirements will be able to access HMRC’s online service and claim up to £6,570 to cover three months’ of profits.
The lump sum will be worth 70% of their average monthly trading profits, which is 10% less than previous instalments.
The scheme is available to people who are self-employed or a member of a partnership, who meet the conditions set out by HMRC.
Individuals making a claim will be required to confirm that their business was adversely affected by coronavirus on or after 14 July 2020.
