If all governments were more honest about what NI is (a tax on those whose income arises from employment) and tried to explain the difference between collection and incidence of a tax, the voters would be sufficiently informed to stop this nonsense. But they aren't.
Perhaps if your government hadn’t salted the fiscal battlefield with employee NI cuts, and unrealistic public expenditure plans, we wouldn’t be in this mess? Neither major party was honest with the electorate, and if they were, the tabloids would have had a field day.
In policing, we will have the bizarre situation where they will allocate NI compensation using the funding formula rather than the actual cost. Of the £5.7m that the NI changes will cost Kent, it’s likely my allocation will be £1m short, whereas other Forces could be over compensated and receive more money than they need.
