SEISS, or the Self Employment Income Support Scheme, was extended by Chancellor Rishi Sunak in his recent Budget, providing an important lifeline to millions of self-employed individuals. Mr Sunak also extended the terms of the scheme to allow, as the Government claims, an extra 600,000 people to potentially benefit from the scheme.
