    Hi, apologies if this has been asked already but i was told today that there might be a once off payment of 1000 euro for self employed sole traders, can anyone confirm or refute this, I've tried looking online but can't make head nor tail of it, a link would be appreciated if possible, thanks

    It's an insult

    Wouldn't bother unless you were very stuck

    It sounds like a cunning plan to lure a percentage of the covid payment receiving, self employed peoples back to work.
    A master stroke surely

    seems pointless to the average tradesman .
    nothing worthwhile is covered
