Original Note:
The Conservatives have a “longer-term ambition to…abolish employee and self-employed NICs.” The OBR has not costed the policy as there is no time frame for implementation. The IFS says the £40bn+ policy is “unrealistic” without “some sense of how it will be afforded.” https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cash-injection-for-millions-as-national-insurance-cut-hits-payslips https://www.independent.co.uk/money/no-10-denies-plan-to-scrap-national-insurance-is-unfunded-but-cannot-name-cost-b2530225.html https://ifs.org.uk/sites/default/files/2024-03/Paul-Johnson-Budget-Spring-24-Opening-remarks.pdf
