Covid-19 Government Grants

The Government have announced various grant support to UK businesses affected by the lockdown measures to contain Coronavirus. The grant money will be taxable but not repayable.

Business Rates Grant

If you have business premises your local authority should contact you to direct for you to claim this grant. Both Plymouth and Cornwall Councils have been very efficient in processing the funds.

Furloughed Workers Grant

If we process your payroll we can claim this grant from HMRC for your business and we will contact you for your bank details and any other information we need to process your payroll and make the claim.

Self Employed Grant

This grant will be paid to you by HMRC in June 2020 based on the average of profits in your submitted tax returns for the tax years ending 5 April 2017, 5 April 2018 and 5 April 2019. For existing clients, we have already submitted these tax returns to HMRC and you do not need to provide any further information to HMRC at present. We understand HMRC will contact you in late May if you are eligible for a grant. You can claim Universal Credit but be careful if you are already claiming Working Tax Credits as the criteria are different.
