The grants are subject to income tax and self-employed National Insurance contributions (NIC) and for all individuals and most partners in partnerships, the first three SEISS grants must be included on the 2020/21 tax returns.

LITRG has published guidance on where the SEISS grants need to be included on your Self-Assessment tax returns, and areas you may need to consider when completing your tax returns, such as if you have multiple trades, claim the trading allowance, are a partner in a partnership or claim tax credits.
