Millions of British self-employed workers will be able to apply for one-off grants of up to 7,500 pounds ($9,210) from Wednesday, as part of a government assistance package for people whose businesses are affected by the coronavirus.
Britain’s government has been slower to offer support to self-employed workers than to furloughed employees, 7.5 million of whom are currently benefiting from a programme that pays 80% of their wages, up to 2,500 pounds a month.
Only workers who had profits of less than 50,000 pounds a year and submitted a tax return for the 2018/19 tax year are covered - so some including people who started self-employment more recently must rely on less generous benefits. On Tuesday, Sunak extended the scheme for employees by another four months until the end of October, but said companies would have to start footing some of the 8-billion-pound monthly bill from August.
