The Government has announced an unprecedented package of support for businesses and individuals affected by Covid-19, and remains committed to doing whatever it takes to support the economy as necessary.<\/p>
<\/p>
UK VAT registered businesses, including charities, can defer VAT payments due with their VAT returns between now and the end of June. No UK VAT registered business will have to make a VAT payment alongside their VAT return to HMRC in that period. They will have until the end of the financial year to repay.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government will also give all eligible retail, hospitality and leisure businesses in England a 100% business rates holiday for the next 12 months. The Government also extended the support available to individuals and businesses, including a package of government-backed and guaranteed loans, which make available an initial £330 billion of guarantees \u2013 equivalent to 15% of GDP.<\/p>
<\/p>
For Income Tax Self-Assessment, payments due on the 31st of July 2020 will be deferred until the 31st of January 2021.<\/p>
<\/p>
Under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, employers (including charities) can put workers on temporary leave and the government will pay them cash grants of 80% of their wages up to a cap of £2,500 a month, providing they keep the worker employed. They will receive the grant from HMRC, covering the cost of wages backdated to 1 March 2020.<\/p>
<\/p>
Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) will be available for those unable to work because they are self-isolating in line with government advice; this is on top of the Prime Minister\u2019s announcement that SSP will be payable from day 1 instead of day 4 for affected individuals. Support will be available through Universal Credit and Contributory Employment and Support Allowance for those not eligible for SSP.<\/p>
<\/p>
HMRC have scaled up their Time to Pay offer to all taxpayers, including charities, who are in temporary financial distress as a result of Covid-19 and have outstanding tax liabilities. Taxpayers can contact HMRC\u2019s dedicated Covid-19 helpline to get practical help and advice on 0800 0159 559.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Chancellor will continue to review and make further announcements as events unfold if required.<\/p>"}

The Government is working closely with the banking industry to ensure that businesses can access the finance they need during this challenging period.<\/p>
<\/p>
Last week, the Chancellor announced a package of measures to support businesses experiencing increased costs or financial disruption due to the coronavirus outbreak. This included the new Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme, which launched today (Monday 23 March) and will support loans of up to £5 million in value, with no interest payments due for the first twelve months of the loan. This will help to give lenders the confidence to provide finance to businesses through this period of uncertainty, whilst helping businesses who are facing short-term cashflow issues.<\/p>
<\/p>
In conjunction with these measures, the Bank of England has acted to help support business and consumer confidence at this difficult time. These actions include cutting interest rates, which will help bolster the cash flows of businesses and households through reducing the cost, and improving the availability, of finance. The Bank also announced a new credit scheme will also help support SMEs specifically, by providing incentives for banks to lend to these firms.<\/p>"}
