Is there an additional month's grant for self employed?

Not sure all accountants understand the rules.
Our guys are 80% of 'average for year' (Gross) less normal deductions (tax/NI etc) = Nett Pay

I don’t think they are allowed to work if they claiming the furlough mate.....but I get the impression that it’s going to be a slog getting people back to work again ?

They aren't allowed to do the job they are furloughed from, but can do any job they arent

Crazy!....how is that encouraging people to stay indoors ?

That’s ridiculous.....considering we have to declare we’ve been adversely affected to claim anything, this country is insane at times ?

Furloughed people must have been adversely affected to have been put on furlough in the first place.

It's not encouraging people to stay indoors, it's encouraging people to keep businesses alive and help the economy.

There was a big push to try and get furloughed workers to do fruit picking and similar jobs instead of the thousands of migrant workers who would normally do it.

Some of you will already know this but for those who don't it looks like the self employed grant has been extended for another 3 months paying 70% of your average earnings. Here is a link..
