Over one million people left out by government self-employment coronavirus financial help

Over one million people left out by government self-employment coronavirus financial help

The Issue

There are over 1 million people who have been left high and dry by the government coronavirus financial assistance. These are individuals who provide employment for millions of people but have received no help for themselves.

That's single director/owners of limited companies. They don't qualify for the coronavirus job retention scheme nor for the new self-employment scheme. The vast majority of them are not wealthy but without them, millions wouldn't have work.

Please sign this petition, so that they are included in the self-employment coronavirus assistance scheme, which gives 80% of their average earnings over the past 3 years, based on their self-assessment tax returns, the same as the self-employed.
