News and information for West Oxfordshire’s businesses - 06 Jan 21


Another lockdown

Boris Johnson warned the coming weeks will be the "hardest yet" as he announced another national lockdown for England on Monday night. It will indeed make a very tough start to the year.

The Chancellor has swiftly announced a new support package including a one off grant for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses worth between £4,000 and £9,000 per property depending on rateable value.

The grants situation was already very complicated covering different scenarios under the Tier 2 and Tier 4 restrictions.  We are asking businesses to be patient while the team waits for government guidance on the new scheme. Our priority is to get the grants administered quickly but to do so in such a way where we try to minimise the number of different applications and bureaucracy for each individual business. 

We will keep you informed of developments but in the meantime, the definitive source of information is the gov.uk website.

Brexit: new rules are here

Brexit has taken place and new rules apply to things like travel and doing business with Europe. The government's Brexit checker is a useful tool to get a personalised list of actions for you, your business and your family.
