SELF EMPLOYMENT INCOME SUPPORT SCHEME

If you're self-employed or a member of a partnership you may be able to claim a taxable grant of 80% of your average monthly trading profits, paid for the equivalent of 3 months up to a maximum of £7,500.  HMRC will work out if you’re eligible, but you can check whether you are likely to qualify on the following webpage:  Self Employment Income Support Scheme.  The online claim service will be available from 13 May and, if your claim is approved, HMRC states you’ll receive your payment within 6 working days.
