My in-laws have come unstuck over this as their pensions are slightly higher than the income front he cottages. They have spoken with the local MP and AM and they are looking into it.
OK, it seems in Wales, to qualify for the grant, holiday cottages have to be your primary income.
Also, you need to have had 140 days booked in the 2019/20 financial year.
I fall at both hurdles.
VOA set rates listings ,Local Councils Collect them.Our email (as yet unanswered) to Liz Saville Roberts, who is the MP for the area where our FHL is ....
1. We are led to believe that in Wales, people are provided with free NHS prescriptions, free University tuition, and free business rates for small businesses. This is different to England where we pay for each of these, but it is not our place to query this.
As a FHL, to qualify for business rates, you have to have your property available for 140 days and have rented it out for 70 days.[and has been the case for many years now.] As above, these are the 'laws of the land' and it's not our place to query them
2. We therefore find it rather strange that a 'fully legal' FHL business is now not allowed a legitimate grant unless it has met a 140 day letting target, which doesn't correlate with the legal business requirement of 70 days.
Why not eligible?I'm still waiting for my Grant.
I learned today that holiday let business are not eligible for the self employment support scheme either.
Does anyone think we will open up again before August?
Why not eligible?
Self Employed and these businesses real hit?
Don't think thats correct?
Your utr and NI same thought is,nt it?Accountant told me. Not eligible. But my farm self employment was.

i think we'll be able to open up pretty soon unless there's a setback second spike.....my reasoning is ppl cooped up and foreign holidays goosed....my guess is open for school holidays at latest
That is a strange one?Yes. I filled in the online form and only my farm self employment income came up. Queried it with accountant and he said said no to holiday lets. Admittedly we are due the £10k grant apparently and I'm not trying to profit from a bad job but if we don't get August then its a bit of a boxed in job.
That is a strange one?
All self employed effected what ever ?
Ah but in Wales we like to gold plate everything to show we care more about lives etc....
But I hope you are right - August counts for a lot
NoI have not had time to look around the small print. Maybe its a "hospitality industry" difference?
Seems the problem is that this scheme takes the info from the self-employed trading pages of self assessment tax returns and not the FHL boxes on the property pages. Worth raising with MP!Yes.

Ignore the bloody express. They want to sell papers. Germany had small pockets of reinfection and tracked them. I will never pay my BBC licence fee again and I will never buy a newspaper again. I've just had a titful of this crap.
