Financial Support for the Newly Self-Employed in Beauty and Hairdressing.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

I have been a Self-Employed Semi-permanent Makeup Artist and Beauty Therapist for 2 years from August 2018. I kept a part time job on the side whilst I built up clients until June 2019. I am not eligible for the SEIS even though from July 2019 to present date, I have now made an established income.

So many businesses have been forced to close their doors in the Beauty and Hairdressing sector. Many of the Self-employed have not been eligible for any Grants or Support schemes for reasons such as not owning a premises, being mobile or renting a chair for example. Or that the tax year the SEIS has been based on, they didn't earn enough for that tax year in particular for example, were either part time in both employment and self-employment, or they became Self-Employed after that tax year.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: Change the criteria for SEISS grants for 2019-2020 tax year traders

If you want the Government to extend eligibility to the SEISS on a different basis to the above, you could start a new petition about this, but it would need to be clear what changes you wanted the Government to make to the current scheme.
