The Chancellor’s announcement this evening of a far reaching package of measures allows businesses in this country to stand by their employees at a time of national emergency. This direct action by the Government to keep people in employment is a really good start. Much of the detail is still being worked on and we expect more information to follow (for example on the self-employed).
As soon as we can we will provide our clients with more in-depth comments to help navigate the support now on offer from the Government.
The UK Government issued guidance on the extended business rate relief scheme which will grant full relief from business rates for eligible properties for the rate year 2020/21.
