In order for a self-employed juror to claim for loss of earnings you have to be registered for tax with HMRC and provide tax returns to confirm your earnings. As far as I can see you have two other options. Apply to be excused on financial grounds and explain your predicament or kiss goodbye to two weeks earnings.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 11:56 amRemembering some of the convos here re filling in mortgage forms etc how did you present your loss of earnings re jury service and did they question it?
On the plus side, as well as travel expences you get £5.71 a day for subsistence, more commonly known as food. If you don't have time to make breakfast you can get a sausage bap from the canteen (which consists of a single sausage cut in half in a roll) and a large cup of coffee-coloured hot water for £3.99. That leaves you £1.72 to spend on lunch.
I'm still glad I've been summoned though.
