SEISS: keeping taxpayer details up to date

With the SEISS claims process having opened on 13 May, the Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG) has pointed out that taxpayers whose contact details are not fully up to date may risk not receiving correspondence from HMRC in relation to the scheme. This could potentially include those who are self-isolating at a different address because of coronavirus and those who have changed address or mobile number but have not updated their contact details. LITRG recommends that anyone who thinks they might be eligible for the SEISS should read the government guidance and use the online eligibility checker.
