Treat self employed the same as PAYE during coronavirus outbreak.
Coronavirus
4.8 million people are registered self-employed in the UK.
PAYE are entitled to up to 80% of their wages and self employed should be the same according to their tax returns. There should be equal rights for everyone working regardless if they are self employed or PAYE.
The outcome of the Chancellor’s speech does not treat self employed people as equals to PAYE.
