Hmrc, to claim back 100% of self employed grant,

ILovebaling · Jun 22, 2020

Not tried to claim a penny, wasn't affected at all and to be honest had a few digging jobs came up meant I was busier than usual all of April and May, in fact still not bloody caught up.

Know of plenty that haven't claimed as don't feel like they were affected enough but a few the other way. One already gets plenty of brown envelope without getting anymore off the goverment I would have thought.

I think when we all have to start paying for this lock down, that's when you might regret not claiming

Can't..... Yes they will find away to get it back, but as been said it was a grant.

They can claim anything back if the application didn't meet the guidance set out and thus was not valid.

If the jobs going to get that bad couple of grand (that I'm not entitled to anyway) isn't really going to help is it.

Anyone who applied for it had to state that their business was adversely affected, so if they claimed and weren't affected then more fool them.

My memory may be playing up but I thought you put your NI number and UTR number in and they told you if you were eligible? Surely everyone had been affected by Corvid in one way ore another?

You were eligible to claim....but not necessarily eligible to receive it. The applicant has to confirm their business had been adversely affected. The govt can’t do that for you.

Be more interesting to see how many folk are going to claim the next 70%.

An Gof · Jun 22, 2020

At no point was the level of adversity you had to suffer made clear to determine eligibility for the grant. Did COVID affect your business. ...... Yes .... then that should be ok. At no point was the level specified

Unless my circumstances change I will.

Will the level of what has ( if it has ) to be paid back be determined by your end of year returns compared with other years ?
And what about furloughed staff of companies still doing business through these times ?

Who can claim
You can claim if you’re a self-employed individual or a member of a partnership and all of the following apply:

you traded in the tax year 2018 to 2019 and submitted your Self Assessment tax return on or before 23 April 2020 for that year
you traded in the tax year 2019 to 2020
you intend to continue to trade in the tax year 2020 to 2021
you carry on a trade which has been adversely affected by coronavirus

Your business could be adversely affected by coronavirus if, for example:

you’re unable to work because you:
- are shielding
- are self-isolating
- are on sick leave because of coronavirus
- have caring responsibilities because of coronavirus
you’ve had to scale down or temporarily stop trading because:
- your supply chain has been interrupted
- you have fewer or no customers or clients
- your staff are unable to come in to work

Snap also . I won't put on here what I've heard from the horses mouth

I have no sympathy if HMRC pursue those who have made spurious claims. It was intended for cases of real hardship where entire businesses had to cease trading not as a bonus for those hardly affected.

Getting money out of the government not quite as easy as was made out shocker......

Indeed.
When something seems to good to be true it generally is.
I seem to remember @Chae1 saying on here at the time that folk shouldn’t go spending it on anything new and shiny as HMRC would soon be calling looking for it back.

Local corn mills furloughed a ruck load of staff, when I asked the manager why, he just said it was their usual quiet time of year so thought they'd take advantage of it...

Optimus · Jun 22, 2020

Can't see it my self.they shouldn't of called it a grant if this is the case.

Landrover · Jun 22, 2020

Local ifor Williams dealer has done a roaring trade on trailers to builders apparently thanks to there "Boris" wage ! It has been a bit unfairly done as who my wife works for can't claim anything on any of the schemes because they are a seasonal business, and she will be out of work until the end of July at the earliest and then will only be 2 days a week as the schools are off and she look after our kids. We are about £4k out of pocket with her lost wage so far this year, so should I claim ?! (I won't btw)
