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.

I must show some thanks to you for rescuing me from this type of difficulty. After looking throughout the search engines and coming across concepts which were not productive, I thought my entire life was gone. Being alive without the solutions to the issues you've resolved by means of your review is a critical case, as well as the kind which may have badly damaged my career if I had not discovered your website. Your actual training and kindness in touching almost everything was very useful. I'm not sure what I would have done if I had not come upon such a point like this. I'm able to at this point look ahead to my future. Thanks very much for this skilled and effective guide. I will not be reluctant to propose the sites to anyone who requires guidance on this subject matter.

My honest apologies for not saying thanks to you earlier.
