| If you can’t pay in full |
| HMRC know that many tax payers are facing financial difficulties due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. If you can’t pay in full by 31 January 2022, they may be able to help by arranging an affordable payment plan. If you owe less than £30,000, you may be able to do this online without speaking to HMRC. Go to GOV.UK and search ‘HMRC payment plan’. |
| COVID-19 support schemes |
| This year, you’ll also have to declare if you received any grants or payments from COVID-19 support schemes up to 5 April 2021, as these are taxable. This includes: |
| • Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) • Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) • other COVID-19 grants and support payments such as self-isolation payments, local authority grants and those for the Eat Out to Help Out scheme. |
| Go to GOV.UK and search ‘reporting coronavirus grants’ to find out which COVID-19 grant or support payments to include on your tax return if you’re self-employed, in a partnership or a business. |
