A manifesto for the self-employed

[Zero Liability]

Utterly clueless in so many ways but I'll pick just one part to attack



Self employed NI is already incredibly simple. You pay £2.70 a week for class 2 and 9% of income between £7,755 and £41,450 with 2% for everything else for class 4.

So its hardly difficult to work out what the final figure should be.

I could agree that merging NI and Income tax has a purpose but considering the model most contractors work under (small income, large dividends via a PSC) the plan will make your current members a lot worse off..

If they merged them in addition to lowering taxes I'd go for it, but it's unlikely with the current govt.

That doesn't sound "incredibly simple" to me, especially the fact you have employer's and employees' NI rather than two things with different names.

Do you pay employee and employer NI if you are self-employed?
