Parity between the SEISS and CJRS schemes (remove £50k profit limit from SEISS)
An employee earning £60k per annum will receive £2,500/month through CJRS.
A self-employed person with average annual profits of £60k will receive nothing, as SEISS imposes a profits limit of £50,001.
This is arbitrary and discriminatory.
I am co-owner of a restaurant.
We are a business partnership and taxed through the self-assessment system.
We have always declared fully our profits which invariably exceeds £50k per annum, each.
We are grateful that our staff are furloughed and financially secure; however, with no income whatsoever we are each facing destitution and it is unlikely we - and therefore the business - will survive as long as the furloughing scheme does.
