Authorisation to discuss Self Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) grants on behalf of your clients

We may not be able to talk to you about your clients’ SEISS grants unless we receive additional consent from them. This is because our existing process – the 64-8 agent authorisation – was not designed to cover the support provided in response to coronavirus, such as SEISS grants, so the usual taxpayer confidentiality rules apply. We require this additional authorisation to safeguard our customer information.
