Covid-19 support schemes to end
A range of government support schemes introduced to help businesses and individuals through the pandemic will come to an end on 30 September. The schemes include the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, the Self-employment Income Support Scheme, the Coronavirus Statutory Sick Pay Rebate Scheme and the reduced VAT rates for hospitality. The stamp duty land tax rates in England and Northern Ireland will also return to pre-Covid levels.
