HMRC will aim to contact you by mid May 2020 if you’re eligible for the scheme and invite you to claim using the GOV.UK online service. If you’re unable to claim online an alternative way to claim will be available.
You will only be able to claim using the GOV.UK online service.
I'm not eligible because I'm a director of a company, but because we have premises we are eligible for a grant of £10k as we're in receipt of small businesses rates relief or whatever it's called, which we've now received via the council.
How to claimYou cannot make a claim yet.
It's like a really shit game of pass the parcel, run by Kafka.
Hoping he will dump a grant (A GRANT!??! i remember those) in my bank account to make up for lost earnings as I think I fit the criteria but they keep teasing me with this then it's all YOU CANT DO ANYTHING YET, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW MID MAY YOU FUCKhttps://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-a-grant-through-the-coronavirus-covid-19-self-employment-income-support-scheme
Someone I know got it and it was about '£350'. Whilst they acknowledged it wasn't near what they'd have earned in that time they did cheerfully concede 'that's nintendo switch money'.
Money on its way, whoohoo.
Mine too. I was saying elsewhere that for a moment I thought "...maybe I should just return it to the economy" before thinking "nah, fuck it, I'm having it."
I also got my FREE CASH for DOING FUCK ALL coming to me. And they didn't even ask me if the pandemic has hurt my business, because it hasn't.
Anyone who takes tory blood money is a fucking disgrace.
