The noble Lord also mentioned national insurance. We recognise the contribution that employers have been making since the changes to employer national insurance in April 2025. The Government are making fair and necessary choices on tax so that they can deliver on the public’s priorities. Where applicable, the employment allowance can be set against eligible employers’ NICs liabilities. From April 2025, the Government have more than doubled the employment allowance from £5,000 to the current level of over £10,000. This Government are delivering for working people, competitive businesses and a healthy economy.
