"Philip Hammond is to announce tax rises to meet a fresh round of spending commitments in this week's Budget, according to reports. "

"The Conservative manifesto has committed the Government not to raise income tax, VAT or national insurance."

"Mr Hammond could increase taxes for self-employed people who currently pay less in national insurance contributions than employees, The Times report."

So that won't be an increase in national insurance, just making it fair

If they can find a way of actually forcing companies to do it, it's a game-changer. BAU contractors are dead in the water.
First though, the govt would have to introduce legislation to force private companies into putting external contractors on the payroll - which should be interesting.
