Without help recently set up small businesses may be forced to close. We are keen and hard working entrepreneurs but as we have set up recently we don't qualify for government help as we dont have years of accounts behind us - we are the small business owners that need the most help. Please change your rules and give us the help we need to survive!

These staff are some of the hardest hit and do not have straight forward work circumstances. The government has not taken into account in these types of circumstances where businesses may have been taken over and there may be other issues. Neither have they responded to ANY emails from frustrated and worried people in these sorts of positions. Ignoring the problem in the hopes it will go away. It will not, and should not, these people are entitled to the SAME help as everyone else and should not be loop holed out of this through a lack of common sense at HMRC and local councils. It is not only morally wrong to let these people suffer and fall through the cracks, but it is a blatant breach of equality and a clear break of their promise that NO ONE WILL STAND ALONE during this crisis.

The UK public are finding times hard enough without essential funds being refunded for holidays not taking place. We need this cash back to live and it is unacceptable that they are breaking EU law in not refunding customers within 14 days. We need definitive deadlines on refunds being received if nothing else. At the moment being told "you will be refunded but we cannot tell you when" is not good enough. Why should they be able to hold onto our money for events that are not to take place and in some instances even demand we continue to pay them for it. Action needs to be taken by the government to help both sides, the holiday firms so that they can survive and refund customers, and the UK public so they can receive this needed money back.

The slogan, 'We're in this together' has been used a lot recently. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has suggested that a government deficit of over £200bn could be expected once this Covid-19 crisis is over. We have been told that everyone must be prepared to do their part to help the economy recover and prevent a second wave of austerity measures. I would suggest that one way of aiding this recovery would be to call on all those who hold money offshore and in tax havens, to ‘do the right thing’, by bringing this money back in from these tax havens and offshore accounts, so that they pay tax on the money and aid in the financial recovery. In particular I would address this call to members of the government and those who make decisions in financial institutions. If 'We are in this together' and want to avoid austerity measures, this would seem only just. There is currently no legal way of making this happen. I therefore hope that public opinion would be able to sway those concerned in offshore investment to make a moral decision to contribute to the recovery of the economy and therefore give credence to the statement, 'We're in this together.’

This company is between a rock and a hard place at present due to Covid 19. They cannot work as they are, indefinitely without help, but can't lockdown completely as they are part of a key industry for medical machines. Unfortunately, this area of the customer base is not enough to cover monthly overheads. The company does not want to let these customers down or the recipients of these invaluable machines but this is not sustainable. They need help, not only to keep going though this but to still be a functional company after, when they will be a part of rebuilding the economy of the businesses that rely on them.

Companies that headquarter themselves in tax havens choose to do so to avoid paying UK corporation tax and should not therefore be able to benefit from taxpayer funded state support, the bill for which will ultimately be paid for by everyone in the UK who does pay tax. Allowing such companies to access coronavirus financial support is like allowing uninsured drivers to claim for accident damage – it clearly doesn’t make sense.

Any company that is not registered in the United Kingdom for Tax purposes and doesn't contribute their fair share should under no circumstances receive Government bailout money.

The public built your fortune, the government recovers bail out money from the public. The public is hurting, doing their best to survive while the rich get richer at our expense. Is this government going to accede to their request or is humanity going to win over greed and so called power? We have been a great opportunity to stop polluting the earth and if measures can be put in place globally to fight a virus then we can save the planet

As almost never before UK start-ups are under acute threat and not just as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. Urgent help is required to support them. The proposed government Future Fund is unattractive to most start-ups and something simpler is required. Increasing the EIS tax relief could be done very easily and extremely rapidly - in days and not weeks.

It seems to me that the payment holiday being offered by banks and credit card lenders is a bit of an empty gesture. Yes it will allow customers to miss 3 months of payments without incurring additional charges for being unable to pay the monthly bill, but the interest on those payments will continue to accrue. In simple terms, these companies are making extra profit from their customers pandemic induced difficulties. this cannot be right, or fair.

Tax payers in the public sector have not been supported in the same way as the private sector. They deserve the same level of support in terms of furloughing (80% of salary up to £2,500).

NHS workers are not only working hard to care for all during this crisis at the moment, we are also working a lot extra and having annual leave cancelled to cover the crisis. We are all working a lot of extra hours but are being penalised massively by tax. I believe that all NHS workers should not be taxed on overtime and NHSP shifts whilst this crisis is ongoing. Not only are we attending work like lambs to the slaughter we are also paying a lot more in tax for the privilege of covering the front line and keeping people safe.
