Reduce the threshold for the self employed grant to include this tax year
The new self employed support grant is very good and covers 95% of those who are self employed. However it does not cover those that have only been self employed for this tax year 2019-2020 who have paid tax.
Please help the other 5% of self employed people. Universal credit is not enough!
Reduce the threshold to income those that dont have tax returns from previous years. Look at the UTR numbers and CIS numbers! Invoices or bank statements!
