Rishi Sunak today announced he would raise the National Insurance threshold by £3,000 as he was forced to soften the blow of his tax hike on working Brits.
After months of pressure, the Tory Chancellor used his Spring Statement to match the earnings threshold with the one at which workers start having to pay Income Tax.
It means workers will now start paying National Insurance on earnings above £12,570 a year - up from a planned £9,880 a year from April 6.
