That was not the case in September, when Rishi Sunak set out measures that will bring a net \u00a312 billion a year into the Treasury\u2019s coffers from next April. That sum is about the same amount as would be raised by increasing basic rate income tax from 20% to 22%. Indeed, some experts suggested that is what the Chancellor should have done. Instead, he took a politically safer route:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2022\/23, all the main and higher rates of National Insurance Contributions (NICs) will rise by 1.25%. For example, if you are an employee under age 66 earning more than \u00a350,270, then in the next tax year you will pay NICs at the rate of 13.25% (12.0% currently) on your earnings between \u00a39,568 and \u00a350,270 and 3.25% (2% currently) above that level. Your employer will also pay NICs on your earnings above \u00a38,840 of 15.05% (currently 13.8%). If you earn \u00a360,000 a year, your NICs bill will rise by \u00a3630 \u2013 about \u00a352.50 a month.<\/li>\n<li>In 2023\/24, the NICs rates will drop back to the current level and to capture the extra 1.25%, a new, separate Health and Social Care Levy will be introduced. The net effect of this will be the same as the 2022\/23 NICs increase, but with one exception: the new levy will also apply to the earnings of anyone (employed and self-employed) above State Pension Age (66 currently).<\/li>\n<li>From 2022\/23, 1.25% will be added to the tax rates that apply to dividends once the \u00a32,000 dividend allowance is exhausted. Consequently, the top tax rate on dividends will rise to an awkward 39.35%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The changes could have major impacts on your financial planning, particularly if you run your own business.<\/p>\n<p>To discuss how they affect you personally \u2013 and what actions you might be able to take \u2013 please contact our <a href=\"https:\/\/devstagesite.co.uk\/smhgroup\/financial-services\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Financial Services<\/strong><\/span><\/a> team on <strong>0114 266 4432<\/strong> or <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>info@smhca.co.uk<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h6><em>The value of tax reliefs depends on your individual circumstances.
