Takes more balls than being stubborn and following it through regardless.
Makes me laugh really. People bitched at it being put through, and now some people are bitching they have retracted it - ffs!

Re: Tories scrap NICs Increase.
It is a ridiculous decision, politics instead of economics.The self employed do not pay a fair NI contribution compared to those directly employed, this is an accepted fact, and the move to correct this was the right one.
The changes made would have cost the 'well off' self employed but left the 'poorer' self employed only marginally worse off.
Can't believe the Tories have caved in to a bit of negative publicity, and this sends out all the wrong messages about Teresa May's determination to see a job through and her ability to take the tough decisions this country needs.

When self employed however, apart from managing cash flow, bills, receipts, buying materials, finding custom, and keeping a day book, you then have the pleasure of paying an accountant to prepare your books: so although the self employed might pay at bit less in NI, somehow I think they deserve a break.
There are lots of other ways the government can generate money without penalising those that, after all, reduce their unemployment figures, even when they have no work.

Re: Tories scrap NICs Increase.
Also,When self employed there is no sick pay / holiday pay etc.
Many large companies started out as someone self employed who then done well and expanded. Yes, they should be given a bit of a break.
I was self employed for some time and it's damn hard work!
