Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has considered merging employee National Insurance Contributions and Income Tax.
Answered by James Murray
Merging income tax and National Insurance contributions would be a major upheaval in the tax system with consequences for the labour market and impacts for a large number of individuals and businesses.
As such, the Government has no plans to combine income tax and NICs.
