What the petition asks
Help those with new business that were established after April 2019 to receive financial help of 80% based on their last 3 years of tax returns from their previous employment.
This Government was quick to help all those across the UK. But left out those who have paid into this country for years, who decided to make a change in their employment status. How is this fair? This is penalizing those who have made that choice within the last 12 months. You have left them to draw closer to dept, mentally draining them in this fight for help and the only answer we get is 'unfortunately there is no help for you'. Bye. Time to help the WHOLE of "GREAT BRITAIN"!
