What additional support is the Welsh Government planning for holiday home letting businesses that have been adversely impacted by coronavirus restrictions and have no employees?

Answered by First Minister | Answered on 07/06/2021

Since the start of the pandemic, the Welsh Government has provided more than £2bn of financial support to tens of thousands of businesses across Wales to help them through the pandemic. However, this continues to be a difficult time for many businesses.

The Economic Resilience Fund continues to provide support to businesses; further details are available at: https://businesswales.gov.wales/coronavirus-advice/

We are reviewing the next stages of support to help businesses that continue to be affected by the restrictions.

The Self-employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS), from the UK Government, which provides support for sole traders, will now run until September 2021.
