I don’t usually pay tax

[KS Cleaning]

Pof what do you mean we all have to pay it back

I reckon Boris will copy the Scottish blueprint on taxation. From experience this definitely works as last year I paid about £400 more in income tax than I would have had I been a southern softie😖

Don't forget the grant is tax deductable, so keep a bit back for your next tax bill next year.

I know what you mean but the grant is actually ‘subject to tax’ and don’t forget the N.I.

Haha, yep.  Meant to say it's taxable.

I got through yesterday no problem but found I will get £1000 less than I expected due to the new van I bought in 2016 as I paid less tax that year

[Granny]

Expecting to see a lot of new vans on the road soon. Might be a good number of second hand vans for sale too.

I bet Alex Gardiner will be seeing a nice spike in business too.

A load of windows cleaners who are usually skint having a few spare grand burning a hole  in their pockets.

Probably a really daft question, but do I have to declare this to UC? Cos if that's the case, it's literally in one hand and out the other 🤔

I came home at 2pm yesterday to sort this out I was back working at 220 all sorted! 6 working days until payment made. Happy days.

Yes you do. You don’t have to claim the grant though if you think it will leave you worse off. Only you can know that though.

[Pole 2 Pole]

Thankyou.

I will have the same issue

Government Gateway didn’t work for me, kept saying for security reasons the information given has been deleted. HMRC will be in touch within 2 days.

Filled in my details this morning with no problems.
The amount is exactly what I had worked it out to be, only 1 full year and unfortunately the first 3 months of my self employment was counted as 1 year so reduced the grant significantly.

Nowhere near covers the lost commercial work and inside residential work and a few drop outs over the last 3 months but I am grateful for something.

Did anyone watch Martin Lewis on TV last night? Although the employed are being furloughed until at least October the self employed may not be. So this could be it as far as a grant is concerned.

I missed that but I have been wondering about it.
They are going to have to do something for them. I'll still be affected because the schools will still be closed and I might be able to work round that but many others won't.
There's still many self employed that can't socially distance. And I can't see the schools being open for June but they've announced it anyway.

Anyway, I got my grant this morning.

You won't be affected with schools being closed if your wife is a key worker as you can send them to school to be looked after, so you can work easily.

Some schools are only taking children if both parents are key workers.

Also depends on the age of his children. So far schools are only opening for Reception, Year 1 and year 6 children. My lad is reception class but I won’t be sending him back to school yet. Not until I’m convinced it’s safe to do so.

[P @ F]

Our school is only doing if both parents are key too , my Mrs is and school told me to stay home , I told them to feck off 
So her work has just couriered her a mini PC to work from home , I’m happy and she is not so happy

They will have him but they are not really doing their assigned work.
We've had a discussion recently and they have said that they might start doing some teaching; we'll look into that then.
He does need the structure of school though.

Should be receiving my grant in a few days after finishing up with giving them all the requested info recently.   One thing I'm unsure about is that with the grant being for 3 months of missed work what happens if you only stopped working for a fraction of that time?  In my case I only stopped for 4 weeks but presumably it's still okay to take the grant and it'll just get balanced out with tax when the accountant does the books next April?  So they (HMRC)  will presumably see next year that I only missed 1 month of work instead of 3 and then charge me tax on the grant accordingly?
