    "we have been searching to see if there is some way she can continue. "

    Can she use the outside space to do these sessions or zoom e or equivalent?

    She has maintain contact and still cover her PT role or is it equipment based which her clients use.

    Does the annex attract it's own council tax bill and are these business rates? If not I don't see how the annex would be considered as a separate building and not part of your home.
    If an annex has its own CT bill, it will not be business rates.

    If an "annex" qualifies as a dwelling in its own right, it will be subject to its own CT band.
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales
  • My trainer friend has been taking her 1 on 1 clients to a local park so they can do their workout and socially distance. Seems to be going pretty well for her.

    There’s been a lot of that round here, too, but it’s tailed off with the wet weather we’ve been having.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Why hasn't she moved her business online? That could have been done straightaway in March.

    Quite likely now the OP is in Tier 4, in which case the gym would need to close whether the annex is classed as a gym or part of the home.

    Why are you assuming they're in Tier 4 now?

    Because from what I understood from today's briefing, everyone in tier 3 from midnight tonight is now tier 4

    Well you've misunderstood the briefing then. Tier-four restrictions - similar to England's second national lockdown - will apply in all areas in the South East currently in tier three, covering Kent, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey (excluding Waverley), Gosport, Havant, Portsmouth, Rother and Hastings.

    It will also apply in London (all 32 boroughs and the City of London) and the East of England (Bedford, Central Bedford, Milton Keynes, Luton, Peterborough, Hertfordshire, Essex (excluding Colchester, Uttlesford and Tendring).

    They asked the question just after the new Tier 3 areas were introduced.  Those areas are now Tier 4.
