Axing national insurance ‘may take multiple parliaments’

The Conservatives’ ambition to eliminate employees’ national insurance contributions could take “multiple parliaments” to achieve, a minister has admitted.

Treasury minister Gareth Davies said that it is “unfair that if you have a job you pay two taxes, income tax and national insurance contributions,” and that it is the “long term ambition” of the chancellor to “remove that unfairness.” Report by Covellm.
