You didn't need 3 years SATR though. And self-employed people were allowed to continue working without it affecting their ability to claim, if they could find work.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Gov should lower all taxes and let the country work.
Raising taxes with the level of unemployment we currently have is stupid.Comment

Self-employed needed to be making a decent profit in the qualifying year(s) to get any worthwhile help from Sunak's scheme, so it wasn't only the newly self-employed without any filings that 'fell through the cracks'.
Anyone familiar with running a business will know that the profit part is only the tip of the iceberg.
Try to implement any unfair taxes and Bozo will find he's on the Titanic come next election.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

My issue with government support over this crisis is just how inequitable it has been. Not just for some self employed, but also employees who happened to switch jobs at just the wrong time (probably 1 in 20 workers, if people swap jobs on average every 5 years). Some people have made out like bandits, like those furloughed for the whole year with no expectation of work, while others have had to fall back on UC - which people soon realised falls far short of any sort of safety net for a middle class lifestyle. Others have had to carry on their crappy jobs at minimum wage whilst enduring greater risk, etc. I get the excuse that they had to hurry something out at the start, but its been nearly a year now and they haven't really changed anything. It's going to be a real kick in the teeth for many when they are asked to pay more taxes to cover something they didn't see the benefit of.Comment
