The Employment Allowance allows business and charities throughout the UK to reduce their employer National Insurance contributions (NICs) bill by up to £3,000 every year. Last year alone this meant over 1 million employers benefitted, of which 97% had fewer than 50 employees. Employers overall saved £2bn in employers NICs due to the Employment Allowance.<\/p>
