granted, but their NI hasn’t just gone up by £200 a month has it ?
Not sure if trolling
No, they won’t be losing £200 per month, but they’ll still be losing 1.25% of whatever they had* which when you can’t break even already pushes them further into fuel or food poverty.
* more actually in real terms – if you earn £300 a week but after bills and the rest have £10 left, even if 1.25% off your income is ‘only’ £3.75 that’s 37.5% of what they actually had.
Whereas if you have the disposable income that the impact is that you had £1000 a month left to spaff on C&H and now you only have £800 – you’ve still got £800, and why not pay the example above’s share as well (3.75 x 4 weeks means they now only have £785…..and no, I am not worried for them)
