Rejected petition Adequate financial support for sole traders recieving £400 p/m or less from gov.

Look at what you are paying self employed people during the covid-19 pandemic, telling us we can not work. Feel the grant should be based on the latest tax return. All self employed who have filed a tax return to be granted adequate grant, minimum cap £500 per/month.

More details

Be fair. Self employed/sole traders are tax payers working very hard each day, often without pay. Want to feel valued. Thank you for listening.
