The Self Employed grant scheme (SEISS) has been extended. If you were eligible for the first grant and can confirm to HMRC that your business has been adversely affected on or after 14 July 2020, you’ll be able to make a claim for a second and final grant from 17 August 2020.
The scheme allows you to claim a second and final taxable grant worth 70% of your average monthly trading profits, paid out in a single installment covering 3 months’ worth of profits, and capped at £6,570 in total.

As the country continues to climb out of lockdown we are continuing with our programme of a gradual phased reopening. Next week we will be open during our normal working hours. This will be the first time since 23rd March. But of course, we have all worked hard to ensure we provide client service to the highest possible but safe level during this period. In doing so we didn’t have to furlough any of our staff. We are extremely proud of our staff for the commitment and contribution they have made during this period. But the next phase is to get back to having staff in the office every day. By installing a new telephone system capable of video calls during lockdown gives us closer contact with clients, allowing us to continue Face to Face meetings in a digital setting. The client portal is now fully functioning bringing swifter transfer of documents to and from in a secure environment. We have installed a door entry system to the office to ensure that we have control of social distancing when visitors call in. We also took the opportunity to develop our marketing approach with the introduction of a digital brochure. This provides enquirers with easy access and a quick way of discovering our services as well as being low cost and a better environmental solution. Click here to access a copy.
We could shout out that we are ready for business, but for us it never stopped.
Today is another step towards reopening our office in Vermont House. Below are the McGinty Demack Office Details related to this reopening.
Since around the 9th March, some of our staff started to relocate and work from home. This ensured we were ready by the time the Government instituted lockdown measures on 23rd March.
Today, Monday 22nd June we are beginning a gradual return back to the office. This will be phased. So, initially we will open all day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week. There will be limited staff on site which will increase the times when books and records can be collected and dropped off. The majority of staff will remain working remotely in line with Governments advice.
McGinty Demack Office Details also include making the office Covid-19 secure following our full risk assessment. To do this we have installed a door entry system to manage access into the building. Inside there is hand sanitising equipment and disinfectant wipes which are available to prevent the virus spread. If our initial steps remain successful and in line with the Government and industry guidance we will extend to include full weekly opening with more staff beginning to return to the office.
Like everyone else, we are all hoping to be able to make changes to relax the controls in place, so that we can return to a normal working environment. As we do, we will continue to update you through website posts and on social media.
As always we will do the upmost to support our clients during this period. So if you need any help with the services we provide please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your cooperation.
