| Comment | Update on the self employed grant scheme for anyone waiting on news...
Through our private hire union we have just found out the following:
**- The portal for checking eligibility will open on Monday 4th May.** This will be accessed via your regular self assessment dashboard. When you log in you will have a message telling you if you are eligible. It is anticipated, but not confirmed, that the amount you can get will also be displayed.
**- The application portal will then open a week later on 11th May.** You will need your UTR number, NI number and bank details to apply for the grant. Bank account must be able to accept BACS payments.
**-** Payments should then be made around a week after applying. Grant payments are thus expected to start getting paid out on 18th May.
**-** The formal announcement of all this will be made by Chancellor Rishi Sunak on Sunday 3rd May. |
