<p>The new Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) helps those adversely affected
by COVID-19. By midnight 21 June 2020, HMRC had received 2.6m claims representing
a total of £7.6bn claimed.</p><p>HMRC recognise the important role that agents play
in supporting people who are self-employed. Due to the speed at which HMRC are delivering
the SEISS it has not been possible to offer agents the ability to claim on behalf
of their clients. However, the process has been designed to be as simple as possible,
and HMRC do all the calculations for taxpayers.</p><p> </p><p>Anyone who cannot apply
online can contact HMRC by telephone to submit their claim.</p>
