Increase the SEISS amount for the self employed in the music & arts sector

Petition Details

We want the government to increase the current SEISS from its current 20% to at least 50% for the 1million plus self employed workers in the arts & music sector.

Additional Information

Currently the 20% contribution is to cover the drop in demand for self employed businesses over the next 6 months.

We know that in the building industry for example the self employed workers have been busy all year and are receiving the same (%) as workers in art and music who have not been able to work all year and won’t be able to until next April.

20% of net monthly income is not sufficient for workers who have had another 6 months work eradicated.
