<p>In April 2020 the Government increased the Primary Threshold (PT) and the Lower
Profits Limit (LPL), the point at which employees and the self-employed start paying
the main rate of National Insurance contributions, by over £850 to £9,500. While HM
Treasury does not publish tax information at constituency level, at the national level
this was a tax cut for 31 million working people, saving the typical employee about
£104 and a typical self-employed person about £78 in 2020/21. From April 2021, the
PT/LPL will increase to £9,568.</p>
