Last chance to claim £6,750 government grant for self-employed workers

Self-employed Income Support Scheme pays up to £6,750 to the tens of thousands of self-employed people – but the scheme ends today.

Tens of thousands of self-employed people have until midnight tonight to apply for a support grant from the government of up to £6,750.

The Self-Employed Income Support Scheme (SEISS) is available to businesses that earn less than £50,000 a year. 

The taxable payout is worth 70% of your average monthly trading profits and will be paid to those qualified in a single instalment.

The grant is capped at £2,190 a month meaning the maximum you can claim is £6,750 in total.

You will need to apply before midnight tonight (October 19th, 2020) with confirmation your business has been impacted since July 14th by the pandemic.

To be eligible you must have been self-employed before April 6th 2019 and filed a tax return for 2018/19 to HMRC.

More than half of your total income must come from self-employment and your profits must not exceed £50,000.
