<p>The claims process for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme is easy and straightforward.
HMRC are doing all of the calculations, and taxpayers will only need their National
Insurance number, Unique Tax Reference (UTR) number, online log-in details, and bank
account details to apply for the grant.</p><p> </p><p>Accountants, tax agents or advisers
cannot make claims on behalf of their clients. Designing a scheme that enabled agents
to do this would have taken significantly longer to deliver, at a time when speed
is a priority.</p><p> </p><p>Accountants, tax agents and advisers can help their clients
by ensuring clients are aware they may be eligible; helping clients to find the details
they need; using the online eligibility checker on their clients’ behalf (or supporting
them to use the checker themselves); and explaining why they may or may not be eligible,
and what other support is available to them.</p><p> </p>
