Morning,

Saw this in which mag and thought you might be interested -

National Insurance rates will be hiked by 1.25 percentage points from April 2022 as the government introduces a health and social care levy on earnings, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced.

Under the plans, millions of UK workers will see increases to their tax bills. The changes are estimated to raise £36bn over the next three years and will be used to help with the current social care crisis – where many have been forced to sell homes to fund their care – and to bring extra funding to the NHS.

The levy will be paid on all earned income – meaning those working beyond state pension age will also be charged, but this is set to kick in from April 2023 according to the ‘Build Back Better’ plan.

The Prime Minister said devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will receive an extra £2.2bn per year as part of the levy, which is 15% more than the nations are set to contribute.

In addition, dividend tax rates on shares will also increase by 1.25 percentage points, meaning that from April 2022 basic-rate taxpayers will pay 8.75%; higher-rate taxpayers will pay 33.75% and additional-rate taxpayers will be charged 39.35% on this income.

In his speech, the Prime Minister acknowledged that the tax hike will break the Conservatives’ manifesto pledge to not raise taxes but he blamed the pandemic for having to change tack.

Here, Which? explains how National Insurance works, and how much more you could pay under the new rates.

How much more tax will I pay?
The rules vary depending on whether you’re employed or self-employed.

If you’re employed
Employees currently pay Class 1 contributions, which is 12% on pay over £797 per month, or £9,568 per year.

Earnings above £50,270 are charged at 2%.

Once the tax rates increase is introduced, we assume these rates will rise to 13.25% and 3.25%.

Here’s how contributions would look after the NI rate increase, depending on your income and assuming you work for a full tax year:

Income Current National Insurance payments National Insurance payments after rise
£10,000 £51.84 £57.24
£20,000 £1,251.84 £1,382.24
£40,000 £3,651.84 £4,032.24
£60,000 £5.078.84 £5,709.24
£80,000 £5,478.84 £6,359.24
£100,000 £5,878.84 £7,009.24
As the table shows, someone earning £100,000 would see a £1,130.40 rise to their tax bill, a hike of over 19% in the amount of NI paid. Whereas those on a lower income of £20,000 would pay £130.40 more each year – an effective hike of 10% on the amount of NI paid.

Best take the Aston DB9 for a Tillywhizz, as it goes like a rocket. As he left the Haus, he said hi to postman porsche and and gave his Rustydog84 a Patt.His phone rang, it was Septic Lil wanting a lift, Shezer friend but quite fit by all accounts, so he agreed for her to walk over and join him.
Opening the garage gazed upon his Aston D B9 in the silversun light, admiring his private plate RMR1969, tightening his belstaff jacket, he thought to himself, this is goldmagical, I feel on top of the WKworld,. May as well be on Everest M87.
Septic Lil appeared, had dyed her hair again, was now a Ginger Unit. He said, in a Crabby08 tone, a'what have you done that for, what do you hope 2 gain', she replied , are you suddenly a Professor1 about style Ian ?". "Dont be so Judge-mental Mr Y Fronts!" Ian paused for a moment and thought about his comment, thinking I"m -toaster if I don't make this right.
"Iknownuffin", he blurted out"Sorry Lil.
They stepped into AstonDB9, and he lowered the roof, saying "Sbrace yourself, were off for the ride of our lives on the best road round here, Coastliner88."
Off he sped, foot to the floor. She said "you had better stix to40, remember the camera"!
Ian was newtothisgame, beautiful Lil in his car supplied from his mate, dealer55, real name Kevman72. They passed goatguy, smiled and waved, Lil put her hand into her pocket and produced a bag of brightly coloured sweets, "Here have some of these they will make you feel better". Ian looked down" AARGH MMs I hate them with a passion, and they re bad for your wealth".
"Sorry" she replied,"best Gecko your own then".
As Ian sped round the corner, the car began to trift onto the other side of the road, oncoming was a Gingerhippo with a monkey on his back, being chased by what looked like the beastofbomin. Ian instantly sped up and pulled left avoiding a head on, but flash, in the rear view mirror. "Hell" he thought was that the sun or the speed camera?.
On they went and Ian bought more L EUA sparkling water, he already had loads but could'nt help himself topping up. Lil bought frutsels as they were her favourite.
Ian said "Fancy a JTmac cy d's, they have a xmas special, its the mac 4.671 (£)".

Off they went to JTmac cy ds and who should be there but Happy Scot, not really a friend, more of an aquantance.
"Hi Happy" they both said, Happy looked over and just grunted, his usual response, not very happy at all, always glass half full type.
"Happy I was driving along just now and nearly had a head on, got a flash of light in my rearview mirror as I sped up to avoid an accident".
Happy said"Definitlely a speeding ticket Ian, seen it all before, I heard it from thehorsesmouth, you'll get done I tell yer"
Ian felt sad, thinking I Just wannabel

Hi Stix :-)

A few years have passed since then :-)

Do you remember the 'Bake-O-Lite' girl from Wallace & Gromit's - 'A Matter of Loaf and Death'

She put on a few pounds over the years! :-)

"A Matter of Loaf and Death is a murder mystery. A serial killer has murdered 12 bakers. While on a delivery for their bakery business, Wallace and Gromit save Piella Bakewell, a former pin-up girl for the Bake-O-Lite bread company, and her nervous poodle Fluffles when the brakes on her bicycle fail. Gromit finds there is no problem with the brakes, but Wallace is smitten. He and Piella begin a whirlwind romance, and Gromit is angered when she redecorates their house. Fluffles and Gromit share a sensitive moment when she returns Gromit's possessions, discarded by Piella. Wallace sends Gromit to return Piella's forgotten purse. At Piella's mansion, Gromit discovers numbered mannequins representing each of the murdered bakers, and a book of photos; Wallace is her planned thirteenth victim, completing a baker's dozen.

When he shows Wallace the evidence, Wallace is too distracted with his engagement to Piella to listen. Gromit installs security measures in their home, including a metal-detecting security screener. After Piella tricks Wallace into thinking that Gromit bit her, Wallace muzzles Gromit and chains him up. Gromit watches helplessly as Piella prepares to push Wallace into the grinder; Wallace is saved when Piella is struck by a bag of flour.

After an angry outburst about bakers, she leaves but drops by the next day to apologize with a cake. Gromit, suspicious, follows her home, where Piella throws him into a storeroom with Fluffles. Escaping in Piella's old Bake-O-Lite hot air balloon, Gromit and Fluffles arrive at Wallace's house as he lights the candle. After a struggle, the cake falls, revealing a bomb. Wallace and Gromit are attacked by Piella, who reveals she detests bakers after her weight gain ended her career as the Bake-O-Lite girl. She is about to kill Wallace, but is attacked by Fluffles in a forklift. In the chaos, the bomb ends up in Wallace's trousers; Gromit and Fluffles neutralize the explosion with dough while Piella leaps onto her balloon and escapes. However, her weight drags the balloon into the crocodile enclosure in the zoo and she is devoured. Dejected, Wallace and Gromit decide to take their mind off things with a delivery. Outside, they find Fluffles and she joins them on a delivery.
