A problem with the self-employment income support scheme (SEISS) API meant that the amounts of SEISS grant were displayed incorrectly when pulled through to the self-assessment tax return. In some cases the decimal point was in the wrong place, resulting in the grant being significantly overstated.

However, HMRC confirmed on 1 September that a fix has been implemented and the API is now displaying SEISS grant details accurately.
