HMRC have recently updated the guidance to provide clarifications to some queries they have received, including:

• detail of the treatment of losses, averaging and multiple trades
• clarifications on the calculation of self-employed profits and what is meant by total income
• confirmation that individuals are able to continue working, including taking on employment role
• confirmation that owner-managers of Ltd companies can access the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) for their salary
• confirmation that individuals can access Universal Credit and the SEISS
• clarification on overlaps between the SEISS and CJRS (for example, you can claim the SEISS and continue working).
