Stop the self employment National Insurance Increase
Government has stated it wishes to increase National Insurance contributions for the self employed from 9% to 11% for income up to £45000 - through a 1% increase in 2018 and another 1% in 2019
This comes after the 2015 Conservative manifesto pledge not to increase VAT, income tax and National Insurance
