(COVID-19) Self-employment Income Support Scheme for those who were PAYE before
Rejected
13 signatures
What the petition asks
To have a debate and authorize those who were paying TAX as PAYE before and become self-employed less then a year.
If you're a new self-employed individual and have paid TAX as a PAYE before THEN you should be included in the scheme and should not be discriminated.
There are many workers who have been paying TAX for the past years and now have became self-employed. This petition aims to make new self-employed eligible to Self-employment Income Support Scheme, as long as they have contributed to the country through NINo or UTR number in the past and will have tax-return for the tax year 2019-20.
