Don't RAISE taxes for self-employed people.
The government are planning to raise taxes for the self-employed when they have cut taxes for the largest companies in the country by over £3 billion. The government are saying these changes are "fair" when they are anything but.
Tax has been cut for the largest companies in the country (read more here https://www.cchdaily.co.uk/budget-2017-corporation-tax-rate-cut-19), and will be raised for the self-employed (read more here https://www.cchdaily.co.uk/budget-2017-self-employed-nics-4-increases-11-2019).
