answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2024 answer text <p>The Government already cut employee NICs by 4p, self-employed NICs by 3p and abolished the requirement to pay Class 2 for self-employed people across Autumn and Spring without increasing borrowing or cutting spending. That is the model the Government wants to follow when it is prudent to go further.</p><p> </p><p>The ambition to abolish NICs is about reducing tax and rewarding work, not about reforming the contributory benefits system. It is a long-term ambition, and the Government has been clear, this cannot be done overnight and this can only be done in a fiscally responsible way.</p><p> </p><p>Cutting NICs rates does not affect anyone’s entitlement to the State Pension or contributory benefits.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 25/04/2024 10:35:56 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
