SEISS: HMRC reminds Britons of important deadline for fourth grant support - check now

HMRC has confirmed individuals may also need to answer other questions relating to their personal circumstances when applying for fourth grant support.

This could include passport, driving licence or credit file information. 

A claim must be made by the person in question, as asking a tax agent, adviser or someone else to claim on a person’s behalf is likely to trigger a fraud alert.

This is part of HMRC’s system to ensure the payments of SEISS are issued to the right people, and a fraud alert will delay an individual’s payment.
