LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's finance minister Rishi Sunak said on Thursday that self-employed people will receive a taxable grant of 80% of their average monthly profits as part of the government's coronavirus support package.
"The government will pay self-employed people who have been adversely affected by the coronavirus a taxable grant worth 80% of their average monthly profits over the last 3 years up to 2,500 pounds per month," Sunak said at the government's daily news conference.
"It will be open to anyone with trading profits up to 50,000 pounds," he added.
