Still scratching my head trying to figure out how employer National Insurance contributions of 15% in 2023 didn't result in price increases/workers layoffs, but restoring employer National Insurance contributions back to 15% in 2024 will when economic conditions are much improved
I won’t spend the day being angry with something I can’t change , i will try and improve someone’s life in some way …. because that’s all we can ever do, isn’t it gate … 🙏
@JamesMelville You are on the same side as Dyson (using a farm purchase to dodge inheritance tax) and Clarkson (using a farm purchase to dodge inheritance tax)
Look I’ll be honest, I’m an employer & not overly happy at increase in NICs, but I know my employer allowance has risen to mitigate some of this. At the end of the day I want staff who can see a dr when they are ill & future employees taught in schools that aren’t crumbling.
Tax as a proportion of GDP:
🇫🇷 France: 46.1%
🇩🇪 Germany: 39.3%
🇧🇪 Belgium: 42.4%
🇳🇱 Netherlands: 38%
🇩🇰 Denmark: 41.9%
🇬🇧 UK: 35.3%
Taxes are not too high in the UK. The problems are inequality, low wages and austerity.
@TfL Why aren't parking restrictions in operation on Holloway Road today? The buses can't use the bus lane as there are so many parked cars. Shouldn't there be additional restrictions on match days?
