HM Treasury (HMT) and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have committed to undertaking a detailed evaluation of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) and the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS). Given the economic and fiscal significance of these unprecedented economic support packages, it is important to understand the implementation, impact and value for money of the schemes, and to build an evidence base for future policymaking and to inform future services. The CJRS evaluation strategy will be published shortly, and the findings of the CJRS evaluation report will be published by the end of 2021. Self-employment data necessary to carry out a full Self-Employment Income Support Scheme evaluation will not be available until 2022, upon HMRC’s receipt of Self-Assessment returns.
