Watch out for HMRC Scams
It could be a scam if it:
1. is unexpected, 2. offers a refund, tax rebate or grant, 3. asks for personal information like bank details, 4. is threatening, 5. tells you to transfer money
You can be sure that HMRC will:
1. only ever call you asking about a claim or payment on a debt that you already know about, 2. never leave a voicemail threatening legal action, 3. never give the reason for a call on a voice message
If you receive any communication through WhatsApp claiming to be from HMRC it’s a scam.

Third grant of the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS)
For self-employed clients, the third SEISS grant closes for claims on Friday 29 January. You must claim on or before this date.
Similar to the first and second SEISS grants, the third SEISS grant will also be subject to Income Tax and self-employed National Insurance. Alongside the first and second grants, the third SEISS grant should be reported on your 2020/21 Self Assessment tax returns (filing deadline 31 January 2022).
Where you also claim Universal Credit (UC), the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme grant should be reported to DWP in the month the grant is paid and may affect the amount of UC received.

This will not be available until June 2020.

I needed to draft you this very little observation to give thanks again for all the beautiful tricks you've provided in this case. It's certainly wonderfully open-handed with you to grant freely all many of us could possibly have sold for an electronic book to help with making some bucks for themselves, most importantly considering that you could possibly have done it if you ever desired. These tactics as well served to provide a easy way to be sure that other people have similar dreams really like my very own to figure out way more in regard to this problem. I am sure there are millions of more enjoyable periods up front for individuals that examine your blog post.

I must express some thanks to this writer for bailing me out of this particular trouble. As a result of browsing throughout the online world and finding principles which were not helpful, I thought my entire life was done. Existing without the presence of solutions to the problems you've resolved through your entire blog post is a critical case, and the ones which might have in a wrong way affected my career if I had not encountered your web site. Your natural talent and kindness in touching all the stuff was priceless. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn't come upon such a solution like this. I can also now look forward to my future. Thanks a lot very much for this professional and sensible guide. I won't be reluctant to suggest your web page to any person who wants and needs counselling about this situation.
