With the fourth SEISS available soon, there are calls for the government to ensure they provide support for all the previously excluded groups, such as the newly self-employed.
The Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed (IPSE) is urging the government not to ignore these groups this time around, and as the newly self-employed will now have filed their first full annual tax return, there’s no excuse.

Email JaimeDerek Cribb, CEO of IPSE, said, “After numerous policy proposals from us and other organisations, government has still not got support to the 1.5 million excluded self-employed. These people have now been almost a year without financial aid. Many are now in spiralling debt and self-employed applications for Universal Credit have risen by over 300 per cent.
“Ahead of the fourth round of SEISS, we urge the government to look again at ours and the other policy proposals to get support to these groups. Last year, government said it could not support the newly self-employed because of the risk of fraud with people who had not filed a full year’s tax return. Most of those newly self-employed who have clung on will now have filed their first full annual tax return. There should therefore be no excuse not to support this group at least.”
