Reverse plans for NI health and social care levy and raise funds from taxation.
The government to reverse its plans to raise funds for health and social care via a national insurance levy and raise from general taxation instead.
National insurance is a regressive tax in that once one earns over 50,000 contributions go down. This means that lower earners carry a disproportionate burden. Also, it means that rich non-working pensioners will not pay anything extra. I ask that the UK government raises the money from general taxation which is progressive, in that the more one earns the more one pays. This is a tax which is also applied to pensions.
