Self Employed

[Derek Hardballs]

I bet a number of them (though not all of course) wish they had put their true earnings through the system now, and not just below the tax threshold.

80% of £20 profit, is not very much !

I'm self employed and it's the first time any government has ever even given us so much as a nod. I also think it seems fair. I believe 80% of your earnings based on the last 3 years. I would have preferred every worker ( both employed and self employed), to have been given a straight £250 to £300 a week for 3 months. I haven't done any maths but it might work out cheaper than the admin associated with the self employed payments, the furloughing and so on. Either way, it ain't perfect but it's something.
 I used to employ a small workforce, each getting 5 weeks holiday a year (with me both paying for it plus covering the work), sort out the tax (including the headache of having to explain why and calculate any 2nd income they may have had) and these days I would have to set up  pensions as well. It became a job on it's own and it's a headache I never want again.
I'm back to being just me and a van now and it's the best thing I did.
I just thought I'd put the other side over

Wtf is 300 quid going to get you no thanks the 2500 will do

£300 per week.
