Ok thanks Amy

What if I had 0 income from escorting during the period April 20-April 21 ? Does that still count as trading?
Last tax return I submitted was 2019-20 and 2018-2019 prior to that.

Got all 4 grants no problem but getting a bit worried now as that may not be considered as trading although I have resumed it in May 2021 and have been earning since.

Your tax return for 2020-21 isn't due until 31 January 2022, and while some people will have got theirs in already I would think most haven't - I rarely do mine before Octoberish. If your turnover was zero then provided you're still trading I would think that makes it easier still, but as ever the best people to ask are HMRC

Do you have any expenses? I submit a double tax return, but from 1/4/20 to 31/3/21 I didn't do any escorting. I did, however, pay out for my mobile every month and the yearly fee to keep my website up and running, so I actually logged a small loss.

.. email yesterday. The typos in that should have made me go 'scam', and I should also have checked it was to the email address that HMRC have, but surprise that I was eligible for this one, having not been for the fourth meant it was only after I copied the link to a browser that I went "Why's it 'eternalstarculture' and not 'gov.uk'?"

The SEISS grants are classed as taxable income so you will need to include them on the Self-Assessment forms. HMRC are going to include a separate box for SEISS to make it easier. Any questions just ask HMRC they Bbc are generally pretty helpful x

I have a maybe dumb question:
If the next grant is based on last years income, which the grants up to now count as (count as income that is) and those were for 80%.
But the next one (am I right in thinking:) you only get if your income was depleted by 30% or more?
So the grants last year were only 20% less.

Am I just confusing myself unnecessarily??

The grants for last year will not (as I have read it on the .gov website) be counted as 'turnover' (do check this in the .gov explanation).

Emails with the dates to apply are now going out, got mine this morning.

ana30 · « **Reply #355 on:** 05 August 2021, 08:02:38 pm »

hello kind ladies,

Can anyone who did the last grant let me know what exactly was asked and what details did they had to provide regarding their income? I tend to do my taxes begining January every year (as usual I leave all for last minute) so haven't kept up with my admin paperwork and would like to know what is being asked before I log into my HMRC profile and mess up (My deepest apologies, I just came back from holidays and my head is all over the place).

Thanks for the help!
ana

Caledonia · « **Reply #356 on:** 05 August 2021, 09:27:20 pm »

I did mine this morning, for this one it asks for your turnover for 2020-2021 + turnover for 2019-2020.

Thanks a lot Caledonia, that makes a lot of sense. I'll need to finish my admin of 4 months before logging in

thanks again. ana

You don't have to have submitted a return but you do have to have at least calculated your turnover.
