I will definitely pay mine end of July , better off getting it out the way. I don’t want to be stock piling cash to pay Julys payment, January’s payment, then payment on account all in one go

Everyone that is entitled should claim it.
It's a grant to get us through 'til June. To keep us off benefits. Look at America. Who knows what long term impacts the virus will have on us.
Your business may only be hit later in the year, so get the money in the bank.
Similarly, how many furloughed workers will be laid off when, or if, normal service resumes.
It's a 'loan' from the government to keep us afloat and hopefully set sail, again.
It's in the government's best interests too.

I’ll take it.

The government has modelled this very carefully, its not only about keeping alive and buying food.

They know that, as consumers, other businesses depend on us too, such as car manufacturers, clothes shops, bike shop, local gym etc. If we don’t have the money to spend then the economy grinds to a halt and the knock-on effect is quite big.

To the government, it’s not a gift but an investment. They know it will help keep the economy moving. If the local gym, hair salon, bike shop stays open it will continue to pay tax. Closed businesses (and unemployed workers) pay nothing.

I’m taking it. I’ve got my name down on a brand new Golf GTD.  That’s my deposit.
