Tax rise for the self employed then. 

Yeh, I can see that coming for everyone really. 

 

Remember that ruse the government sold us when they dropped VAT down to 15% from 17.5% to stimulate the economy and then soon raised it to 20% and no one batted an eye lid? 

 

I can see this ending up much the same way. Everyone gets free cash for a few months then will happily repay that with higher tax 100 fold over.

Yep, it’s all got to be paid for.

I’d have to look at the original rationale for having different tax rates for E v SE. 
 

I don’t know what that was without trying to find it. 
 

What has changed since then that might justify an alignment. I don’t know. 
 

I’d (generally) welcome anything that reduces  bureaucratic complexity - god knows, the tax system needs it - but if this crisis is used as the justification for MORE (Stealth) tax then they can FoxTrot Oscar!
