PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Self-employment Income Support Scheme (31 May 2020)

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps the Government has taken to provide guidance to membership organisations on how to use the online tool for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme.

Asked by:
Alison McGovern (Labour)

HMRC recognise the important role membership organisations play in helping the public, and engaged closely with them while developing and launching the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS). While agents, employers and other third parties cannot apply on behalf of eligible individuals, HMRC discussed the process with representative organisations through regular meetings and signposted agents to live webinars and online videos available to help the public understand how to apply for SEISS.
