National Insurance Cut By 2p As Expected

UK

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt outlining tax changes: "there is a further set of changes I want to make today. The way we tax people’s income is particularly unfair.

This double taxation of work is unfair. The result is a complicated system that penalises work instead of encouraging it."
