BREAKING NEWS: Rishi Sunak announces Self-employed Income Support Scheme, but not until June 2020.
Claims can be backdated to 1st March, meaning 3 months payment can be claimed as of June.
“Today I’m announcing a new self employed income support scheme.” – Rishi Sunak.
The Government is now offering self-employed workers a taxable grant worth 80% of their average monthly profits over the past 3 years.
This grant will be capped at £2,500 per month, and is set to last for three months. Rishi Sunak states that the scheme will open “no later than the beginning of June”, meaning the self-employed must wait two months before getting any cash.

- Have trading profits of no more that £50,000
- Take the majority of their income from self employment
- Already be in self employment i.e. have a tax return for 2019.
