The first lockdown came into force on the 23 of March 2020 leaving many unable to get their tax return in before the cut-off point of 23 April, meaning they were ineligible for financial support.

Many other workers have been furloughed to 80% of their wage. However, there are at least 3 million self-employed still not eligible, alongside other workers like directors of small limited companies. The self-employed are the backbone of this country and we need financial support!
