Information used to define SEISS eligibility criteria
Dear Her Majesty's Treasury,
I would like to see any and all documents relating to:
The selection of the eligibility criteria for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS), in particular the decision to exclude 2019/20 tax returns as acceptable evidence of income.
I am particularly interested in evidence, models and professional opinions used by ministers and other decision-makers that informed this decision.
If this request is not appropriately worded, I would be grateful if you could let me know.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Dear FOI Requests,
I received an (automated?) email this morning asking me to clarify the above request. I have done so via a second request, reference: FOI202030069.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Keenan
Dear Mr Keenan,
Please be aware that this was not an automated response that you received.
Regarding your second request, this is also exempt under section 12 of the
FOI act so you would need to further narrow your request for a response.
