FSB: Self-employed breathe sigh of relief as tax move axed

Thursday, 16 March 2017

Chancellor Philip Hammond has revealed his government will not proceed with planned increases to National Insurance contributions for the self-employed.

Andy Willox, FSB’s Scottish policy convenor, said: “Self-employed people from Plymouth to Peterhead will be breathe a sigh of relief that the Chancellor has come to his senses.

“He’s made the right choice – obviously realising that it doesn’t make sense to squeeze the nation’s strivers while trying to deliver a business boom.

“We agree with him that politicians need to better support people who work for themselves. But the way to do that isn’t by hiking their tax bills.”
