Exactly, the problem with taxing via NICs is precisely that they do not fall on everyone. NICs very specifically target people in work, leaving pensioners, dividend income, rental income, capital gains etc well alone.Leave a comment:

It was also a mistake to have large tax free allowance - 10% tax band was much more sensible in the past
Regressiveness is commie BS - people choose what they spend money on, food (cold) got no VAT, should be aero VAT on domestic energy alsoLeave a comment:
