Newly Self Employed Tax Relief Scheme


Newly Self Employed Tax Relief Scheme
The Issue
The 'Newly Self Employed Tax Relief Scheme' (NSETRS) is to provide support to thousands of people who fell through the holes in the original Self employed income support scheme (SEISS).
***No cash payment required from the government therefore lowering the risk of fraud***
The 'newly self employed' will have cash set aside for their tax return 2019/20. The NSETRS will provide a tax relief based on their earnings for the tax year 2019/20.
Instead of being paid a lump sum like SEISS, NSETRS will reduce the amount of tax owed on your 2019/20 tax return.
- NSETRS to be based on 2019/20 tax return only.
- Tax relief equivalent to 80% average monthly earnings.
- Maximum relief equivalent to £2000/month.
- Maximum one off tax relief up to £6000
- Support from April to July 2020 (3 months like SEISS).
- Relief cannot be used in conjunction with SEISS or furlough.
- If you have already paid your tax return for 2019/20, a rebate will be applied.
- If the reduction results in being in credit, it will be forwarded onto the following tax bill.
This will go a long way in supporting individuals who became self employed within the past 19 months.
- It is a fair scheme for the majority of 'newly self employed' who currently have no support.
- No upfront cost to government.
- Reduced likelihood of fraud.
