    My tenant sent me a similar text explaining he wouldn’t be able to meet the full rent. As a good tenant I am happy for him to pay what he can now on the understanding he will make it up later.
    Its worth mentioning that the 80% of wages is based on basic wage, no commission or overtime is taken into account as I understand.
    It’s not that simple. For some it’s an average of last 12 weeks earnings, for others it’s salaried.

    wages are only backstopped for companies in difficulty. that won't be the care sector. tourism, travel, yes. core services, no.
    That's not even slightly correct - any and all industries are eligible for the furlough scheme. 
    This is literally my job, I’ve been doing 14 hour days and weekends on it since it was announced, trying to secure an income for people.

    when HMRC audit you need to show the scheme was used to avoid redundancy. If there’s no change in trading for you, it doesn’t apply to you. So no - it’s not for every employer, nothing like. It’s also not for taxpayer funded employers (eg many state care homes.)

    It’s not free money all round for everyone.

    SKY news had a report yesterday saying that most firms are not even able to get through to the hotline for these loans?
