Scrap the proposed rise in National Insurance for individuals and businesses.
Scrap the increase in National Insurance contributions for working individuals and their employers that is due to come into effect in April 2022.
It will make the cost of living crisis worse by reducing take-home pay. It's a tax on jobs, causing businesses to employ less people. The Treasury has said the economic effect will be “significant” just when we need the economy to recover. It will hurt companies the hardest that have suffered most recently like leisure and hospitality. Businesses will have to pay regardless of whether they are profitable, increasing their costs and pushing up the prices they charge, making inflation even worse.
