Just what are the negative externalities of simultaneously broader rights for new hires *and* higher employer national insurance.
The reality of the situation is that the vast majority of the previous government’s employee national insurance cuts were unfunded bribes that should have just been reversed.
Due to the mess the labour party have got themselves into this is perhaps the least worst thing they can do.
But they should get rid of CGT and inheritance tax loopholes as well.
This breaches the Liebour manifesto pledge.
There are around 200,000 contract workers working under the HMRC IR5 tax rules.
In the case of these “working people”, they have employers NI deducted from their wages by the umbrella companies they work under.
Such a change will therefore be an increase in the NI they pay, reducing their take home pay and directly breaching the Liebour election pledge on NI for “working people”.
What’s the good faith rationale for having employer NICs in addition to employee NICs?
It just sounds like a way to hide the tax burden on workers. As it is, NI is already an unfair burden on work which is inapplicable to other incomes.

>which is why we will not increase National Insurance, the basic, higher, or additional rates of Income Tax, or VAT.
Clearly a breach
Don’t care about hints and tips.
When the actual budget is out I will decide then.
Companies and the public sector need a flexible workforce. It also suits many people to work flexibly but why should we pay a tax increase that other working people drawing a similar wage with better benefits won’t?
This is a good thing, employer national insurance is low compared to other oecd countries. Employers have been getting with relatively cheap employment for too long, even pocketing salary sacrifice national insurance savings from pensions
Workers are already taxed to death, it’s time for companies to stop focusing on the older generation in the form of dividends and start taking care of the working generation.
IR35 just needs to die a horrible death between lowering the tax free dividends to 500 per year and the rise in dividends tax, it’s not worth it to give yourself a dividend that takes you over the basic threshold.
*slow hand clap*
Ah, so the **employer** is the one you’re shafting….I do wish politicians would try and be honest and at least try to do the sensible thing.
These days, NI only exists so politicians can say the headline rate of income tax is lower than it actually is. Employer NI is an extra layer of obfuscation, it’s essentially a tax on your income that doesn’t appear on your payslip.
They promised to not increase tax on working people and now they’re planning to increase it in the snakiest way possible. Still at least we’ll all benefit from all the great investments they’re going to make with the money like err well, no.
I look forward to the Labour Party becoming extinct after this attempt at governance
Wow the bots are out in full force on this thread I see. Happening way too often these days 🙁
The weeks following the budget will be all about Labour’s ‘jobs tax’ and manifesto breaches
