If you are self employed or a sole trader/operator
Many self employed are finding all their bookings and contracts being cancelled or postponed indefinitely. Worse still many are having invoiced payments deferred using Coronavirus as justification.Many of these larger companies will be receiving help and directors may well be keeping their huge salaries and bonuses.There are several petitions to help long term self employed who pay Tax and NI in full but do not get any assistance that people in PAYE get.Govt on TV today stated Local Authorities have a remit to help but both Govt and Local council websites are full of hot air and no actual proper contact or pragmatic adviceHowever The House of Commons are asking for specific questions from this quite large sector of society so, as forwarded to me from others and asked to circulate and forward for others for whom this maybe a worrying concern.
