National Insurance increase a possible if Tories get in.

Recommended Posts

In the last budget we had Phil Hammond wanted to increase National Insurance on self employed people but under pressure dropped the idea.

 

In a recent press interview Mrs May was asked if a rise in National Insurance for the self employed was still on the cards she answered that the idea had been not ruled out it so it is possible if the Tories win anyone who works for themselves will have too pay more so trades people will have to increase their prices which could affect their chances of getting work .

 

I know of a few self employed people their are already struggling and an increase in National Insurance will not help. A lot of people might like the idea of going self employed but might be put off doing it.

On the other hand you can vote Labour who will increase taxes like never before to support their weird fetish of taking us back to the 70s

Personally I think it's ludicrous that successful landlords making a tidy sum of money are not legally obliged to make any NI contributions.

Ah, the 1970s when retirement was possible at 65 for men and 60 for women, where people could afford to buy a house, where a University education was free and unions protected you from unscrupulous employers.

 

Alternatively, you could vote Tory and go back to the 1930s where people queued at factory gates for a single days work and charities supplied food for the poor.
