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)
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.

Your main training and kindness in controlling almost everything was vital. I'm not sure what I would have done if I hadn't come upon such a stuff like this. I can also at this time relish my future. Thanks very much for the specialized and results-oriented help. I will not think twice to endorse your site to anyone who should get guidelines on this problem.

I needed to compose you one bit of word to thank you so much again about the great advice you have provided here. It is certainly incredibly generous with people like you to convey unreservedly all many people would have advertised as an ebook to get some money on their own, even more so seeing that you might have tried it in case you wanted. Those tricks as well worked as the great way to be sure that someone else have the same keenness similar to mine to figure out good deal more concerning this matter. I believe there are millions of more pleasurable moments up front for people who examine your site.

My husband and i have been quite fortunate Raymond could carry out his homework by way of the precious recommendations he received from your own weblog. It is now and again perplexing to just be freely giving procedures which usually other folks may have been making money from. And we all realize we've got the writer to thank for that. The explanations you made, the simple blog navigation, the friendships you can help foster - it's all astounding, and it's really aiding our son and the family consider that the concept is excellent, which is certainly extraordinarily pressing.
