SEISS (Self Employment Income Support Scheme) Mapping update
To cater for the transfer of SEISS via AP/Btax/Ptax and due to the temporary nature of SEISS we have updated the mapping in business tax to cater for any coronavirus support claims made from a sole trade.
It is now possible to update the mapping globally or for a specific client via Setup | Accounts for self-assessment, for SEISS to transfer directly to box 70.1 on the SA return.
Please note you will need to configure the mapping for SEISS to transfer through.
