Big G starting to flex their muscle a tad………. We now have 90 DAYS to let them know if we have, well, ermmmm, taken a bit more dosh than we should of….
🎙🎙 ‘Whadyamean????’ 🎙🎙
Soooo, be honest now, really honest….. Have you…..
💥 OVER claimed on an employee’s, or your own, furlough claim? 💥
💥 INCORRECTLY claimed the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme (SEISS)? 💥
Yeesssssssssss???? Dead simple. PAY. IT. BACK.
Not because we are telling you to. But because you really don’t want Big G on your back, if they find out before you tell them……….
How do you pay it back?
🤓 For furlough claims, an over claim can be corrected in the next furlough claim you do. Bang-on-dead-simple.
🤓 For an incorrect SEISS claim – you need to tell Big G as soon as possible, and repay the dosh. A bit more complicated, but how you do this is explained here:

❓🥊❓‘Well, how do I know if I have incorrectly claimed the SEISS grant, I ain’t no Big G inspector!!’ we hear you cry!!!❓🥊❓
💥 Big G was relying on you to confirm that you were good on 3 (yes, 3!) conditions…. These are:
🤓 1. Your trade was ADVERSELY affected by the C-dawg
🤓 2. You traded in 2019/20 (if no tax return was available for this period)
🤓 3. You intended to continue to trade in 2020/21
The key thing if you are unsure, speak to someone, GET ADVICE, and ACT NOW….
The clock is ticking on those 90 days, which start from the claim date.
