Government have just announced that all employees will be paid 80% of their monthly salary (upto £2500 per month max) by the government.

Also the next VAT payment to be deferred for atleast 3 months.

Not such great news for the self employed though. Just access to the equivalent of SSP £90 p/w

Self assessment deferred til January 2021!

[Slacky]

Yup. SA payment defered. I like that.

[The Jester of Wibbly]

Yup. SA payment defered. I like that.

Still need to pay it at the end of the day.   Large bills in 2021

[Slacky]

I view it as an excellent series of measures.

It means our customers will be far far more likely to be able to afford our services. It is all good news.

[p1w1]

I think we will be seeing a lot of cash in hand going on lol. Self-employed haven't been helped that much in reality. But every little helps i suppose.

You better get out and do some graft then.

We’re in this together, shut up whining, earn some dosh, pay your tax, that way we’re helping in the effort.

But thats the whole point of this your not supposed too unless your a keyworker.

Yep. I always put my tax money away at the end of each month and strictly don't touch it.   So I will be paying my bills on time anyway.

It does not help I'd we are forced to self isolate.

Pleased for the rest of the workforce, as mentioned earlier, it helps us too.

I think Rishi Sunak’s speech was better than Boris’s

Oh really?

You didnt go out today and work then?

You need to educate yourself. The issue regarding keyworkers is which children should be retained at school and which are not to attend.

I don't understand the system, but doesn't that give you access to other benefits?

[Missing Link]

But thats the whole point of this your not supposed too unless your a keyworker.

Yes, you can go out to work, if you cannot work from home.  And have no reasons to self isolate.

And commercial customers not closing down.

[NWH]

I’m happy with the July payment being deferred but like you say it’s still got to be paid,I wonder how many people won’t have put that by when January comes lol.

Think he means if and when we go to full lock down, not the mild lock down.  If we go to full lock down that will include us.

I know we will all lose a proportion of trade  as businesses close, but we are lucky we can keep going the best we can.  That's the joy of running our own busness.

[Richard Groves]

I still think full lockdown is imminent. This is all part of the process. To introduce all measures at once would create mass hysteria and panic ( worse than it is now ). Financial safegarding of our future economy was crucial. This is preparation for the inevitable.

Yes, that's what I meant Jester, it's like originally shutting pubs etc people were asked to not go but eventually because people still were they had to force it .  They really only want the keyworkers out working and everyone else to stay at home, but at the moment that's not being enforced but could change if they feel people aren't doing that either. Slacky hasn't educated himself  on that part yet tho

Yes i did go out to work and will do every day I'm allowed to, fully educated on the keyworker situation but thanks for your input

Bit of a kick in the nuts for me. Recently dissolved my 11 year old LTD company to trade as self employed. I couldn’t have done that at a worse time. 😬
