uin	49041
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2020 answer text <p>Eligibility for the SEISS and the size of the grant paid out is based on information provided to HMRC on self-assessment returns. Self-assessment returns do not include information on breaks in trade, such as the dates or the reasons. HMRC do not know why an individual’s profits may have dropped from self-assessment returns. As a result, a precise estimate relating to the impact of maternity leave is not available. However, the SEISS grant is calculated based on average profits between 2016/17 and 2018/19. This mitigates any periods of reduced earnings which all self-employed individuals may experience.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 02/06/2020 10:40:31 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
