Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 January 2025

Debate

National Insurance: Charity Sector

Contribution

My Lords, can the Minister explain why this Government have decided to tax charities through national insurance contributions and yet to persist at the same time with the Conservative Government’s unfair tax relief to banks, using Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt’s cuts in bank surcharges—an estimated £4 billion a year in effect given away due to cuts in the bank levy since 2016? Why not return those taxes to 2016 levels, stop this tax rise on charities and tax the banks instead?
