Self-employed: Taxation
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to page 3 of the Autumn Budget 2024, published on 30 October, whether self-employed people are classed as working.
Answered by Darren Jones
A working person is someone who goes out to work and works for their income. The government has committed to not increase taxes on working people, which is why it is not increasing the basic, higher or additional rates of Income Tax, National Insurance contributions or VAT
Working people will not see an increase in the taxes they pay on their payslip due to the tax changes announced at Budget.
