Look at it very carefully  - if it's something that'll put you in debt later, have a good think about first.

 

If it's something that's being offered as a benefit - claim it.

If every one thought like that this country would survive this recession.all got the leased motors,etc,etc.

I've just read the self employed are getting another grant of up to £6500 in August. 

Fair play to you but what a f***ing joke, I'm having to go to work as normal with no payout whatsover whilst the the self employed can still work and claim that!

I can guarantee it's us c**ts that will have to contribute to paying it back.

Yes because the tax man is loaning out money to people who gave him the money in the first place so he can tax them again on it  and then make us all pay again in higher tax,s to take the pain away from him lending money to the people who’s money it is  in the first place,,     Simple rule of life you get nothing for nothing,   just be grateful you have been able to go to work and feed your family

Yes but it won't just be those that received the grant that will have to pay it back!

Those claiming both the first and the second grant have to confirm that they meet the eligibility criteria, in particular that their business has been adversely affected by coronavirus. HMRC’s guidance indicates that this includes being unable to work because the taxpayer is shielding, self-isolating or is on sick leave or has care responsibilities because of coronavirus. It also includes scaling down or temporarily stopping trading because the supply chain has been interrupted, the business has fewer or no customers or staff are unable to work.

The Tax Faculty, advised: “It is not necessary to quantify the impact of coronavirus on the business, but evidence of the factors that caused the adverse impact should be retained.”

 

I've returned to work, no weekends and hours cut see how it goes still having to find £600 just for digs etc a month plus food tools etc, its only really worthwhile if you work maximum hours etc, so 70-80 hours weeks away from home as I've done for a while, I'll most likely not claim a second time, but if there's a spike in a couple of weeks and we're back in lockdown its getting claimed.

I know that's not true because I know of people who haven't had a day off that have claimed the first grant.

Yeah but your told to retain the evidence that you have been effected....i think there will be some extra investigation into the accounts of people that have claimed at some point. They have wanted to come after small tradesmen and self employed for a while, I think this will be their excuse and opportunity. 

I'm claiming fck all if I can ever help it

To those that are subbying to a firm it will be quite an easy swerve IMO, if production has taken a hit then surely this is enough evidence?

The amount of snooping laws that have been granted for the next two years is incredible, the taxman has access to everyone’s bank accounts and loads of people boasting that they are having it bang off will be on the end of an irs investigation once all this is over and having been on the wrong end of that in the past I can assure you it’s not worth a couple of grand and bragging rights,

What's not true....their tax returns won't go in until next year and HMRC may request evidence, fact is most people would've got about a £1000-£4000 first time around, I know lads who've not claimed a penny but probably aren't eligible and I know lads that have screwed the system forever on ltd that can't claim a penny, it's a system that has been pushed by British business to make it more competitive meaning I pay tax get no holiday or sick pay have to have my own insurance buy all my own kit, and I don't mind any of that. But don't think I'm gonna say no to getting a tiny percentage of tax back when I've worked since the age of 16...

I’m with you 100% on this..

ive been a subby 25 years raised 4kids and never had a penny off the gov.. had no work since lockdown as site shut and hadn’t seen me bird or kids till this weekend... I’ll be applying for the second grant to
