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.

Stay vigilant about scams, which may mimic government messages as a way of appearing authentic. Search 'scams' on GOV.UK for information on how to recognise genuine HMRC contact. You can also forward suspicious emails claiming to be from HMRC to [email protected] and texts to 60599.
Third grant of the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS)
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 would like to express my appreciation to this writer for bailing me out of this type of trouble.

I won't be reluctant to suggest your web blog to any person who should get guide on this issue.

I simply wished to say thanks yet again. I do not know what I would have worked on in the absence of the type of tricks contributed by you directly on such a subject. It actually was a real difficult issue in my opinion, but taking note of a new skilled form you dealt with that forced me to cry with delight. Now i am happy for your work and then wish you are aware of a great job your are carrying out teaching other individuals through your webpage. More than likely you haven't met all of us.

I and also my buddies have been going through the great things found on the website and before long got an awful suspicion I had not thanked the web blog owner for those techniques. My people appeared to be warmed to learn them and have seriously been having fun with those things. We appreciate you actually being very kind as well as for getting some perfect ideas millions of individuals are really needing to learn about. My personal honest apologies for not expressing appreciation to you earlier.

I precisely wished to say thanks once more. I am not sure the things I would have sorted out without the entire tricks revealed by you on this area of interest. It absolutely was the terrifying situation in my circumstances, however , taking note of a new specialised avenue you handled it made me to weep over contentment. Extremely thankful for this assistance and in addition pray you find out what an amazing job you were accomplishing training people all through your blog. Most probably you haven't got to know any of us.
