Will service providers qualify for the government bail out?

[NIK]

I wonder if prossies qualify for the government's bail out?
They should do, as of course they all pay tax.

Good to see you posting NIK. I very much doubt many WGs are registered as self employed or pay tax so no if the case they wont qualify for the bail out money, some may be able to claim Universal Credit though of course.

In my unprovable opinion its why so many WGs are still irresponsibly still working especially foreign WGs, some of whom may be trapped here now by the virus. The money they make from being a WG may be the only income some WGs have so risk their own and others healths.

There's a long thread that covers this in the punting general discussion https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=276029.0 which may explain why you haven't got much take up on this thread in off topic?

Yeah, didn’t see it as I still only dip into the board. Anyway have contributed my thoughts there about white knights who believe prossies pay tax.
