COVID-19 Guidance for Northern Irish Businesses

1st April 2020

UK Government guidance

The Government has collected all information relating to guidance and support available for Norther Irish businesses during the COVID-19 crisis. This includes:

- Guidance for employers and employees

- Government Support available to NI businesses:

• Businesses will receive government grants worth up to 80% of wages to keep workers in jobs. The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme will pay up to £2,500 per worker each month.

• Support for businesses through the Business Interruption Loan Scheme, which will provide loans of up to £5m, with no interest due for 12 months. This scheme will be delivered through the British Business Bank.

• Support for businesses who are paying sick pay to employees

• Support for businesses paying tax

• VAT payments for the next quarter will be deferred, so no business will pay any VAT for the next three months.

• Self-Employed Income Support Scheme, which will see self-employed eligible to receive a cash grant worth 80% of their average monthly trading profit over the last three years, bringing parity with Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.

- Coronavirus: Business Support Grant Schemes
