80% income for self employed through HMRC during covid-19
Due to to the corona pandemic many are losing jobs. Why are self employed being left behind? I've lost my income but can't get any support. Pay self employed 80% of their income using tax returns and give us the same rights as employees!
Self employed workers are being treated A’s second rate citizens; not all of us have businesses that qualify for the support that has been offered. We also don’t qualify for the measures offered to employees. We still need to pay bills; use recent tax returns to pay us 80% of our average income and give us the same rights as employees
