Rishi Sunak’s new plan designed to save jobs and boost the economy could work well for you.
If you’ve been furloughed get ready to go back because your employer will be getting £1,000 if they bring you back and keep you until at least January
VAT is down to 5% on food, accommodation and attractions from 15 July to 12 January so that’s a boost for our cost of living
Going out for a meal in August from Monday to Wednesday will score you a 50% discount up to £10. Like everything there are Ts and Cs.
If you can afford it now is a great time to buy a house – Rishi has scrapped stamp duty up to £500k until 31 March
If you have a house you can “go green”with a government subsidy
If you have a 16-24 year old child looking for work they might find it a bit easier to do that as the government will subsidise their wages for 6 months and pay employers for taking on trainees and apprentices.
As always there are rules for the application of all this but the doors are open again and that’s a great place for us all to be right now.
