Give self employed people Tax Breaks equivalent to 5.6 weeks Holiday entitlement

Petition Details

Almost all workers are legally entitled to 5.6 weeks paid holiday per year, self employed people get 0 and may lose a weeks wage for going on a weeks holiday.

Additional Information

We feel it’s very unfair to be self employed when it comes to holidays. We get no paid time off. We think self-employed workers should get a tax break to the equivalent monetary value of 5.6 weeks annual leave.
