STOP PRESS: At Spring Budget 2024, the Chancellor announced that the remittance basis would be abolished from 6 April 2025, although this only applies to foreign income and gains arising on or after that date. The remittance basis rules still apply to unremitted income and gains arising before that date but remitted later. For more details, see the Abolition of the remittance basis from 2025/26 guidance note.

During the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, self-employed individuals and members of partnerships were able to claim taxable grants known as SEISS. There have been five grants in total with the fifth SEISS closing on 30 September 2021. The fourth and fifth grants take into account 2019/20 tax returns, so those who became self-employed in 2019/20, who were excluded from the previous grants as they were based on average trading profits for 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19, were eligible to claim these grants. The level of the fifth SEISS grant was determined by a turnover test, see more details below
