TaxPayers’ Alliance responds to Starmer’s refusal to rule out raising employer National Insurance

For immediate release


Responding to the prime minister’s refusal to rule out raising employer National Insurance in PMQs, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:

“Taxpayers will be nervous at the prime minister’s refusal to rule out raising employer National Insurance.

“Hiking this tax would lead to businesses hiring less and paying less, damaging the very working people Starmer claims to be on the side of.

“The prime minister should stop searching for a cheap way out of his manifesto promise and rule out this rise for good.”
