Income support to self-employeds during coronavirus pandemic up to £2500 a month
About 4.7 million self-employeds in UK and they play a vital role to strengthen the economy and it's sad to see that there's not much to support them during this hard time.
Government should provide the income support of £2500 a month to a maximum of total amount paid in NI & Tax in last 3 years.
We understand that it's hard to assess the loss of income but many self-employeds like Driving instructors, DJs, Barbers and Parlours, Painters, Builders, Entertainers, Fitness Instructors, Mortgage advisors and many more have been or will be affected by coronavirus lockdown.
Government should pay back the amount paid in Tax & NI in last 3 years up to a maximum of £2500 per month for no more than 6 months to support self-employeds.
The current support of £94.25 is not enough to pay food bills.
