Jesus. The same page says:

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.

five lines later. This is all going to go very smoothly, I'm sure.

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.

Gambled any of it on virtual sports yet? It's so what I'd do.

Take the 10 grand as a director's loan then go into voluntery liquidation. Start again on Monday in the wife's name, it's what Maggie would have wanted

I've been contacted and they told me I can claim later this week.

yeah it's been a mess. there's stuff in another thread but as far as im aware it changed from "we'll contact you" to being sent a vague link in email where if you dug enough you could input your UTR and make a claim. apparently should hear back by the 15th

Wasn't much of a dig for me; just a couple of clicks.

That was surprisingly straightforward. Took less than 5 minutes.

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'.

So that represents 80% of a quarter of at least 50% of their annual income 350*4*2*100/80=£3500pa. Must be living at their parents.

Mine was substantially more.

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."

Having it and spending it is the best way to return it to the economy.

Genuinely cant imagine theresa may would have let this happen. She would genuinely just wish death upon us, the rotten old cunt

I think Sunak at the very least doesnt actively want to kill us all. But thats as far as i shall go.

He's doing it because anyone in that job would have to.

i think they do say generally you should only claim if it affects your business but if you qualify fuck it, claim
