Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he plans to extend financial support for the self-employed to include people that make contributions through PAYE.

The Self-Employment Income Support Scheme provides support for eligible individuals with trading profits. These profits are reported on Self-Assessment tax returns.

Employers paying individuals through PAYE can access the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. This also applies to salaried individuals who are directors of their own company.

The self-employed can also access a wide range of other financial support, and more information is available at www.businesssupport.gov.uk/coronavirus-business-support/.
