UK Government to increase Self-Employed Support Scheme payments

A further development of potential interest if you are a self-employed genealogist in the UK.

Following my post on 28 September about the Westminster government's extension to the Self-Employment Support Scheme (see http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2020/09/uk-government-extends-coronavirus-self.html), it has now been announced that the rate of the first two payments is to be extended from 20% of average monthly trading profits to 40%, with a decision still to be made on the second payment early next year. This still falls well short of the previous payments of 80% and 70% made earlier this year.
