answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2021 answer text <p>The Government announced at Budget 2021 that the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) will continue until September, with a fourth and a final fifth grant.</p><p> </p><p>The fifth and final SEISS grant, covering May to September, will include a turnover test, known as a ‘Financial Impact Declaration‘(FID) in order to ensure that the most generous support is targeted at those who need it the most. This will determine whether claimants receive a grant worth 80% of three months’ average trading profits, and capped at £7,500 or a grant worth 30% and capped at £2,850.</p><p> </p><p>Previous SEISS grants provided support for a period that was subject to restrictive measures across the UK to tackle the virus.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2021 answer text <p>HMRC will subject CJRS claims to scrutiny and use their usual compliance tools to carry out proportionate risk-based compliance checks before and after payment to test the veracity of CJRS claims. In doing so, HMRC will protect essential public services and the livelihoods at risk during these challenging times.</p><p> </p><p>It is vital the Government supports businesses to recover by ensuring a level playing field so the compliant majority cannot be undercut by a minority who are trying to cheat the system.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC know that some people will have made honest mistakes and are taking a proportionate approach to recovering overclaimed grants. HMRC also know that many businesses claimed while under considerable pressure and may not have fully appreciated what work was, and was not, allowed.</p><p> </p><p>No-one who has tried to do the right thing but made an honest mistake has any need to be concerned, as long as they work with HMRC to put it right. HMRC can correct a mistake without a penalty within 90 days of receiving the grant or their circumstances changing.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also taking tough action to tackle fraudulent behaviour. Anyone who keeps furlough money despite knowing they were not entitled to it faces having repay up to double the amount they received, plus interest and potentially criminal prosecution.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/07/2021 11:23:39 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
