Help sole traders: postpone interim tax payments due July 2020, to Jan 2021.
Sole traders & small businesses need financial help in light of Covid-19 challenges. Postpone the interim tax payments due in July 2020, to Jan 2021. Small business already income is dropping off. Many businesses will re-build after we emerge from these difficult times but will need Government help.
Small businesses and some traders don’t benefit from statutory sick pay or business rate waivers, or any other forms of financial help that the Government has so far muted.
