Following discussions with partners and trade unions, we have amended the eligibility criteria for the level of reduced turnover for the Economic Resilience Fund (ERF) and increased the Emergency Business Fund grant award for qualifying sole traders, freelancers and taxi drivers who do not pay rates.
