Self-employment Income Support Scheme
(asked on 20th May 2020) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether self-employed workers who are subject to the Turkish EC Association Agreement visa are eligible for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme.
This question was answered on 3rd June 2020
The revised guidance published alongside the legal Direction makes it clear that grants under the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) are not counted as “access to public funds”, and that taxpayers can claim the SEISS grant on all categories of visa. This treatment of the SEISS grant aligns with that of payments from the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
