Employment: Policy
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what her Department’s definition of a working person is for the purposes of policy development.
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, protecting their payslips against higher taxes. This means no increase in the basic, higher or additional rates of Income Tax, Employee National Insurance contributions or VAT.
