Excruciating pains for those moved from PAYE to self employed recently (2019/20)
Rejected

What the petition asks
Thanks to the government for their response to the outbreak. The 2 schemes provided to support income earners this unfortunate period did not consider people like me who have been working and paying tax since but just moved from PAYE to self employed in the year 2019. It is no fault of ours.
To consider the agony of families of income earners who recently moved from directly employed (PAYE) to self employed before the unfortunate outbreak of Covid19 and the lockdown. I have never been on social benefit until now and has been working and paying my tax all through these years. Unfortunately, non of the 2 support schemes provided by the government cover people in the same situation like mine and we are really going through hell right now.
