Rachel Reeves to protect public sector workers from tax raid
The NHS and government departments will be exempt from the chancellor’s plan to impose national insurance on employers’ pension contributions
No other comment.
Well:
However, the Treasury will reimburse public sector employers, including the NHS and government departments, because otherwise they would have to make significant cuts to their budgets, The Times has been told.
So, obviously, everyone else in the economy will have to make significant cuts, won’t they?
The private sector is the enemy! The golden egg-laying goose shall die! Onward state comrades to the sunny uplands¹.

¹] They’ll need to be ‘cos them’s the energy source.
I assume the term ‘public sector’ will also apply to the family and friends of MPs who ’employ’ them.
The rush of British businesses to cut their own throats by outsourcing business functions to India will accelerate, but at the same time the Home Office will ensure we still get millions of Indian and other cheap labour colonists arriving here.
Double dip!
The Left understand the friend/ enemy distinction better than the Right does…
This from the girl who couldn’t manage her own credit card, who complained of how ill paid she was on nearly £90k p.a., and who billed the tax payer for the cost of an accountant to prepare her tax return.
And even on a Chancellor’s salary feels the need to accept baksheesh from the usual source.
That Rachel Reeves?
At least this time when they boast £xmillion extra pounds for the NHS we can say, yeah but £ymillion of that was to pay NICs….
The judges and TTK have advantageous tax exemptions for pensions that the private sector don’t get. Doctors are likely to join the club. How long before the whole public sector is in on the wheeze?
Just makes me even more determined to pay no (very little) tax by retiring at 55 – fuck them all.
The private sector is full of kulaks!
Either I haven’t been paying sufficient attention or the mere mention of ERNIC on company pension contributions is a very recent development a.k.a. a leak and damned near certain to happen.
As the conservatives foolishly set a precedent by changing NIC midway through a financial year I expect this to take immediate effect rather than allow 5-months leeway until next April.
I am due to receive a promotion with a pay rise in the new year. I am replacing someone who is retiring. My replacement has already been found in the form a nice lady in India.
I am starting to wonder if the promotion is going to be replaced by redundancy and a P45 with my current job still going to the lady in India.
Not until you’ve successfully passed on your knowledge to the nice lady in India.
After that I’m sorry to say all bets are probably off.

The lady already has most of the knowledge. It is mainly handing over projects to her so she can carry on with them. I want the promotion and the extra money. I trust my boss. The people I do not trust are the PE owners of the company. It does not take much to spook them into cutting heads.
Good luck (and for once when posting on here I don’t mean that in a sarcastic way).
I saw the rather apt term ‘ambient paranoia’ used to describe the nature of most workplaces these days
