Are these grants treated as income, so subject to corporation tax?

Yes.

[Elfyn]

If and when I get the grant I, will only spend some of it on things that are tax deductable. My van is due a big service and a timing belt (about £1000 to £1300), I usually do most of the servicing myself, but I wouldnt dare do the timing belt. I also have a few little things that need sorting out on other quipment, but I'm going to keep as much as I can of the grant for a rainy day.
With the announcement that this could last beyong this year I'm planning for the worse.

Mine got refused.

How did they notify you ? Did they give a reason

How did they notify you ? Did they give a reason

By email. We recently moved and we are not on the valuation roll. It was a complicated sale, the site was split into three by the old owner, I bought two and a mechanic bought the third.. The assessor had been out earlier this year to, err, assess it, but the coronavirus happened and it wasn't finalised in time.

I will appeal the decision and will probably win but that will take weeks or longer.

It's tricky because all these people are doing a job they don't normally do and they're trying to do it from home. The grant phone line at Aberdeenshire council is only open for 1 hour a day.

On the plus side; Rishi's furlough has paid out.
