Class 2 National Insurance
You may remember back in 2015, George Osborne announced that the government were scrapping Class 2 National Insurance contributions for self employed workers.
However, the government has recently announced that they are scrapping the move to abolish the contributions, citing concerns that low earning self-employed workers would pay more than the contributions themselves to access state pension. There was also concern over whether this would make the UK tax system even more complicated.
