Jay Jones, 22, is among 1.6million self-employed Brits who have fallen through the cracks of Rishi Sunak’s help for strivers. Mr Jones accidentally put down his profits as employment income in his 2018/19 tax return. That is because the law says people cannot claim using a tax return that was amended after March 26. “It’s triggered worries and stresses as the months have gone on,” said Mr Jones, from Wandsworth in south London. Mr Jones began filing tax returns as a teenager and declared trading profit of £11,625 in 2017/18 and £13,093 in 2019/20.
