We have been made aware that a few clients have received a letter from HMRC informing them that they may have to repay the first three SEISS Grants as their 2019/20 Tax Return has not been submitted or did not include self-employed pages.
We have investigated this, and so far, these letters have been sent in error. We have contacted the HMRC Agent dedicated helpline and raised the issue as to why they have been sent but they are unable to tell us why and as there is no contact number for the issuing department on the letter, we cannot call them to discuss it directly.
We have been advised action does have to be taken, please DO NOT IGNORE the letter. If you get one, send it directly to us via email so we can review the situation and appeal against it on your behalf, where necessary.
Please contact us if you are unsure about any HMRC correspondence you have received. We recommend you send us an email info@fbtc.co.uk and a member of the team will help you.
