Our self-employed people are the growth creators and the job creators of our economy. Today the government failed them.Government must pledge to reverse this discriminatory change.Running your own business is a struggle as it is.
Today in the budget phillip Hammond announced he will be raising the NIC on the hard working self employed. Small business and self employed should be getting more support. Not being targeted for the wrong reasons.
