National Insurance for self-employed workers.

The government is consulting on abolishing class 2 National Insurance contributions and introducing a benefit test into class 4 National Insurance for self-employed workers.

Class 2 contributions give the self-employed access to a range of state benefits. To ensure this can continue, the consultation considers how self-employed individuals could build entitlement through class 4 payments.

Given that this is a complex area, no timetable has been set for these reforms.

Responses to the consultation should be emailed to class2abolition.newtest@dwp.gsi.gov.uk by 24 February 2016.
