RE: No tax sounds good...........12 Jan 2023 18:53
I go even further, people at state pension age should not be exempt from employer's NI. When the tax and NI system was established, it made sense for people not to have to pay NI when retired, as their life expectancy was much shorter and medical interventions were cheaper.
Now people live longer and keeping them alive costs more. If they had been paying for private insurance, the insurance company would be bankrupt. Old folks have underpaid for what they are now getting, so should be asked to pay more instead of pushing the burden onto the next generations.
A more equitable society is a happier society...
