Rejected

What the petition asks
Parliament forgot the new starter self employed workers from the package. But we are same hard workers then the others and we are more vulnerable.
What about the new starter self employed people? Who has just started their own business after 2019 and doesn't have one finished taxed year yet. They deserve only weakly 90 pounds Universal Credit? Please calculate the 80% coronavirus income support scheme for this type of workers taking in consideration their income during the employee status in previous years and based on the tax return, what we are submitting on the 6th April.
