if the government is thinking of following this example

if we're going to have an opt out pension scheme, the government might as well come clean and merge NI and income tax since NI dont pay for pensions anymore anyway

    Its potentially a good idea, because NI is a joke, but no government ever will because it will look like a big tax increase.

    technically it'd be a tax cut if the same %s were applied, because NI is lumbered on employers too
