2 Percent cut in National Insurance payments

[freddo]

The manifesto pledges another national insurance (NI) cut, which would be the third since last autumn. The Conservatives are promising to reduce employee NI from the current 8 per cent to 6 per cent by April 2027, and to abolish self-employed NI. The manifesto also reiterates the party’s “ambition” to fully abolish NI “when financial conditions allow”.

Employee NI stood at 12 per cent until last year, but chancellor Jeremy Hunt cut it by 2 percentage points each in his latest Autumn Statement and Spring Budget. Self-employed NI was reduced from 9 per cent to the current 6 per cent. A further 2 percentage points NI cut would save £349 a year to employees earning £30,000, and £754 to those on a salary of £55,000 or above.

Doesn't concern those who live here or who's running the shop. They're both as bad as each other.
