HMRC has published further guidance on the SEISS, including details of how to work out total income and trading profits. There is also more detail on how to make a claim, eligibility and the interaction between the scheme and universal credit, as well as additional support on how to calculate profits and total income.



HMRC has said that an online service for claims will be available from early June and that it will contact those it thinks are eligible by mid-May.

HMRC will assess eligibility for the grant based on total income and trading profits.
