This scheme allowed the self-employed trader to claim a first taxable grant, which closed on 13 July 2020.

The second and final taxable grant is worth 70% of your average monthly trading profits, and will be paid out in a single instalment covering 3 months’ worth of profits - capped at £6,570 in total.

If you're self-employed or a member of a partnership and have been adversely affected by coronavirus (COVID-19) use this scheme if you're eligible to claim the grant.

Claims for the first grant are now closed, but the scheme is now open. If you’re eligible and your business has been adversely affected on or after 14 July 2020, you need to make your claim for the second grant on or before 19 October 2020.

Who can claim?

You can make a claim for the grant, regardless of whether or not you did not claim for the first grant, if your business has been adversely affected on or after 14 July 2020. This is for self-employed traders and you cannot claim a grant if you trade as a limited company (i.e. company director drawing a salary) or operating a trade through a trust. 

You will need to qualify under the eligibility criteria, which means that your business has been adversely affected - your business has experienced lower income or higher costs due to coronavirus.

HMRC states that you should make an “honest assessment” about whether your business has been adversely affected.  

What you need

To apply you must have your:
Self Assessment Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) which should appear on your tax letters or returns – if you do not have this ask your accountant or follow this link - find out how to get your lost UTR

When claiming for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme grant you should:
keep a record of how your business has been adversely affected
confirm to HMRC that your business has been adversely affected by coronavirus

For instance, your business could be adversely affected by coronavirus if you were unable to work because you:
are shielding or self-isolating
are on sick leave because of coronavirus
have caring responsibilities because of coronavirus
have had to scale down, temporarily stop trading or incurred additional costs because:
your supply chain has been interrupted
you have fewer or no customers or clients
your staff are unable to come in to work
one or more of your contracts have been cancelled

Important

In order make a claim for the second and final grant your business must have been affected on or after 14 July 2020.

Your trading profits must be no more than £50,000 and at least equal to your non-trading income.
