Reports suggest that the announcement had been slow to arrive because of the greater difficulty in structuring and running a scheme that relied on annual information (via tax returns) and could not operate via the PAYE system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main provisions for the self-employed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main points from the Chancellor\u2019s statement and accompanying <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/chancellor-gives-support-to-millions-of-self-employed-individuals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"press release (opens in a new tab)\">press release<\/a><\/span><\/strong> are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The SEISS will pay a directly payable taxable grant to the self-employed (including members of partnerships) based on 80% of profits averaged over the last three tax years (or shorter periods if self-employment started after 2016\/17), subject to a maximum of \u00a32,500 a month. In a recent <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifs.org.uk\/publications\/14768\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"briefing note (opens in a new tab)\">briefing note<\/a><\/span><\/strong> from the Institute for Fiscal Studies, it was suggested that the \u00a32,500 figure (which also applies to the employees\u2019 Job Retention Scheme) is the maximum <em>payment<\/em> that will be made, not the maximum earnings that are protected, i.e. 80% of up to \u00a337,500 of profits ([\u00a337,500 x 80%] \/12 = \u00a32,500) will be covered.<\/li><li>The initial payment term of the SEISS grant will be \u201cat least three months\u201d. <\/li><li>The payment of the grant will not prevent the claimant from continuing to work.<\/li><li>The SEISS will be restricted in three ways:<ul><li>Self-employment must provide the majority of the claimant\u2019s income. It is unclear how this is calculated.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Trading profits either:<ul><li>are less than \u00a350,000 in 2018\/19; or <\/li><\/ul><ul><li>trading profit was less than \u00a350,000 averaged over the three tax years from 2016\/17. <\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Chancellor, these thresholds\nmean the scheme covers 95% of the self-employed. The corollary is that it\ncreates a cliff edge at \u00a350,000, a figure that appears elsewhere in the tax\nsystem (e.g. the higher rate tax threshold).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The claimant must have submitted a 2019 tax return\n(covering the 2018\/19 tax year). As a concession, any later filer will have\nfour weeks to submit their overdue return if they wish to be included in the\nscheme. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>HMRC will use their existing information to assess eligibility and contact individuals directly, requesting completion of \u201ca simple online form\u201d. A gov.uk <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/claim-a-grant-through-the-coronavirus-covid-19-self-employment-income-support-scheme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"webpage (opens in a new tab)\">webpage<\/a><\/span><\/strong> gives more details, but is somewhat confusingly headed \u201cClaim a grant through the coronavirus (COVID-19) Self-employment Income Support Scheme\u201d. The \u201cdon\u2019t call us, we\u2019ll call you\u201d approach is aimed at preventing HMRC being overwhelmed with telephone queries, as has happened with the DWP\u2019s Universal Credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Payments\nfrom HMRC should start at the beginning of June. The initial sum will represent\nthree months\u2019 cumulative payments. Until then the self-employed can claim\nUniversal Credit. In his statement the Chancellor said Universal Credit could\ngive a self-employed person with a non-working partner and two children, living\nin the social rented sector, support of up to \u00a31,800 a month.<\/li><li>Anyone\nwhose self-employment started after 5 April 2019 and thus has no self-employed\nearnings recorded with HMRC cannot benefit from the scheme and must rely on\nUniversal Credit. <\/li><li>Those who\noperate through one person companies are not covered by the scheme as, despite\nthe media label often given to them, they are not self-employed. The Treasury\npress release states that such people \u201cwill be covered for their salary by the\nCoronavirus Job Retention Scheme if they are operating PAYE schemes\u201d. The use\nof the word \u2018salary\u2019 is key here, as many one person companies route the bulk\nof their employee\u2019s remuneration via dividends to reduce National Insurance\nliabilities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In his closing remarks the Chancellor noted that \u201c\u2026in\ndevising this scheme \u2026 it is now much harder to justify the inconsistent\ncontributions between people of different employment statuses\u201d. This was a\nsubtle way of suggesting that National Insurance contributions will have to\nrise for the self-employed once the crisis is over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coronavirus Act<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The day before the Chancellor\u2019s latest statement, the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/2020\/7\/contents\/enacted\/data.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Coronavirus Act 2020  (opens in a new tab)\">Coronavirus Act 2020 <\/a><\/span><\/strong>received Royal Assent.
