Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostPersonally, I was (and am) more worried about the Autumn Budget.

Public sector IR35 - looking like it'll be devastating, though admittedly more due to uncertainty and risk averse-ness rather than anything else.
"Dividend tax" last year - a couple of grand extra personal tax for most.
FRS changes - perhaps a grand or two loss for many.
In comparison the changes announced yesterday are utterly trivial.
Yesterday was the first time the sole trader with a moderate income was told by government that he's a problem and a tax avoider, and so has to pay more tax.Comment

If it settles down nicely between now and the Autumn, they got away with it. If it totally blows up in their faces, they can heroically find another solution, roll it back to just 0.5% to replace Class 2, and announce it all in the Autumn. Then, they can announce with great fanfare that "we've listened."Comment
