- currently be eligible for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme SEISS (although they do not have to have claimed the previous grants)
- declare that they are currently actively trading and intend to continue to trade

Do I have to declare grant as an income?
Grant has to be declared as income and can be subject to tax and NI contributions.
As previously grant will be based on profit declared in the previous three tax years
Again, if the person does not have 3 years of self assesment, grant will be based on the assesment sent to HMRC for the one or two last years.
Who qualifies?
