Closed petition Merge income tax and National Insurance
Closed on
Most benefit entitlements are no longer based on National Insurance contributions. National Insurance and Income Tax are both taxes on the same wages. They should be merged into a single income tax, this could be done in stages, perhaps beginning with the self-employed by phrasing out NI and adding the rate to Income Tax rates.
