Be aware SEISS scams are on the rise.

HMRC has issued a warning that scammers are now targeting the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme.

With the fifth round of grants opening for claims soon it is important to remain vigilant when making a claim. We would like to remind you that the only place you are able to make a claim is via the GOV.UK website.

To support self-employed people making a successful claim for the fifth grant, HMRC have updated the eligibility guidance which can be found here.

If you want to make a claim for the fifth SEISS grant you must do so yourself, agents cannot make the claim for you. And remember, never share your Government Gateway details.
