EXCLUSIVE:

Rachel Reeves will increase employers’ national insurance by up to 2 percentage points in her budget as she seeks to fund the NHS and balance the books

The chancellor is also expected to make a ­“significant” cut to the earnings threshold at which employers start making national insurance contributions

The combined measures will raise about £20 billion a year and represent the biggest tax rise in the budget

The burden will fall entirely on the private sector, with public sector ­employers such as government departments and the NHS being reimbursed by the Treasury to avoid cuts

Unchecked capitalism and boardroom greed facked this country under the Tories. Now they have to pay to fix it. Because those who can afford to has to. Let's hope this is just the beginning.

Israel has bombed Iran. These religious lunatics are determined to destroy the world just because they were dumb enough to think their religion overrides world secirity.

And you think that these increases won’t get passed onto Joe Bloggs in some way, be it increased prices for products or job losses?

2% on NIEC eh?

Cost increases and/or lower wages being offered will be the result of this. As for incentivising private industry; that’s that well and truly scuppered.

So much for pro business.

2% rise in Employer NI is hardly punitive.

My car insurance has gone up by 41% and my water bill by 22% in the last month, I'm sure most companies can absorb 2%.

Then you don’t probably understand the nuances of the vast majority of businesses where every percentage point counts.

Job losses have already started on the back of this and they’ll continue. Prices will rise and employers will pull back on salary increases to recover these costs.

Wait until you see the affects as the negativity has already set in.

We don’t yet know exactly how they’re going to go about it either, do we?

IMO, there should be at least one more higher band, and probably two, of employee and employer NI, where the burden of any increase should fall.

At present, if I’m not wrong, employers are paying 13.8% on the top two NI bands (roughly £2,000 to £4,000, and over £4,000 a month). If it has to be employer’s NI, I’d load a larger percentage on the current top band, and introduce say £6,000 plus and £10,000 plus bands with higher percentages again.

Several European states have introduced or are looking at introducing some quite novel ways to try to simultaneously boost their economies, boost their treasuries and deal with inequality by offering structured tax incentives to businesses which better control their pay ratios, which is where I’d be starting rather than employer NI. Push up pay for your lowest earners, curb management and exec pay, and get tax relief. Do the opposite, and get punished.

Yeah; the real worry for me is job losses.

Hard to say how much of an impact there might be without having the data, but the primary reason why I’d be thinking about looking elsewhere first (capital gains tax is an absolute facking no brainer) is jobs.

If this increase doesn’t affect the “working man” (definitions on a postcard please), why are working public sector employees protected from this?

Because they're mainly not-for-profit organisations.

Then you don’t probably understand the nuances of the vast majority of working people where every percentage price, inflation, bank interest, utility tax, personal tax, rise counts.You cant get blood out of a stone.

Dont forget that during the election you lot were advocating that the working poor, unemployed, frail, sick, vulnerable, homeless, disabled, single working mums, sections of our society on benefits had to stump up your preferred government's 'plan for growth'. And what a 'plan' that would have turned out to be.

Not quite following your logic there, Ginge.

You could protect “working people” in both the public and private sectors from NI increases and also protect public sector *employers* from NI increases.

Because the GVT want to protect sectors such as the NHS, Education etc which is under threat because they are haemorrhaging valued and needed, time served, qualified staff, who are actually the bedrock of our society. It's called responsible government trying to fix things. You have probably forgotten about that being a Tory.
