There are new rules for businesses and citizens from 1 January 2021.  There is guidance and a helpful checklist available on the UK GOV website.

The government has now published its official guidance for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which has been extended until 31 March 2021.

The self-employed income support scheme (SEISS) will be open for two further grants, the first of which will be set at 80% of average profits.

In a statement to the House of Commons earlier today (5 November), Chancellor Rishi Sunak set out his plans to extend the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme from early December to the end of March.

This weekend was a spooky one, and for more than just one reason! Yes it was halloween, but the nation was addressed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson to announce a month-long national lockdown. The lockdown is due to start on Thursday 5 November and run up to 2 December.

In recognition of the challenging times ahead, the Chancellor said he would be increasing support through the existing Job Support and self-employed schemes and expanding business grants to support companies in high-alert level areas.
