<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. 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. 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>
