We would cut taxes for working people

The Conservatives are the party of workers, the people who fuel our economy and keep our country going. 

So we want workers to know we have their backs. And that’s why we’d tackle National Insurance, an unfair double tax on work.  

Right now, workers have to pay two taxes: income tax as well as National Insurance. It’s not fair on workers and it’s not good for our economy. 

That’s why the Conservatives have a clear plan. 

We cut National Insurance by a third — from 12% to 8%. That’s a £900 tax cut for someone on an average salary of £34,500. 

And that's a good start. But we want to go further. 

Our long-term ambition is to abolish National Insurance entirely.

So we’d end the unfair double tax on work and support the workers who keep our economy going.
