To work out your eligibility for the fifth grant, we’ll first look at your 2019 to 2020 Self Assessment tax return. Your trading profits must be no more than £50,000 and at least equal to your non-trading income.
If you’re not eligible based on your 2019 to 2020 tax return, we’ll then look at the tax years 2016 to 2017, 2017 to 2018, 2018 to 2019 and 2019 to 2020.

HMRC expects you to make an honest assessment about whether you reasonably believe your business will have a significant reduction in profits.
The amount of the fifth grant will be determined by how much your turnover has been reduced in the year April 2020 to April 2021.
We’ll provide more information and support by the end of June 2021 to help you work out how your turnover was affected.
| Turnover reduction | How much you’ll get | Maximum grant |
|---|---|---|
| 30% or more | 80% of 3 months average trading profits | £7,500 |
| less than 30% | 30% of 3 months average trading profits | £2,850 |
The online claims service for the fifth grant will be available from late July 2021.
If you’re eligible based on your tax returns, HMRC will contact you in middle of July 2021 to give you a date that you can make your claim from.

All islands currently in Level 1 will move to Level 0 at the same time due to sustained low numbers of cases. Everyone is encouraged to get tested to help stop the spread of COVID-19 by finding cases that might be missed, as around 1 in 3 people with COVID-19 don’t have symptoms.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said:
“I appreciate that today’s decisions will feel like a mixed bag. That reflects the fact that we are in a transition phase. No part of the country is going backwards today. Before the vaccines, that would have been impossible on case numbers like this. But the vaccines are changing the game. And that means we can still be optimistic about our chances of much more normality over the summer and beyond.
“As always, all of us have a part to play in beating this virus back. So please, stick with it, and each other.”
For local authority areas in Level 2, we will be providing support to soft play and other closed sectors that had expected to open, or operate in a different way from 7 June. Full details will be provided by the Cabinet Secretary for Finance tomorrow.
Places and business that can open at Level 1 include:

By taking the test, residents will be able to better protect their family, colleagues and the wider community by ensuring they are not spreading the virus to others without knowing it.
