WIN FOR BRITISH CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AS NICS INCREASE IS REVERSED

Comment from Shevaun Haviland, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce: 

“After months of campaigning, today’s Government announcement to reverse the increase to the National Insurance Contribution (NIC) is a big win for the British Chambers of Commerce and the business community. This is much needed support for businesses during these difficult times. 

“There are a range of other challenges that must be addressed including labour shortages, supply chain disruption, and rising raw material costs. Tomorrow’s mini budget from the Chancellor is now a critical moment. To truly revitalise our economy for the difficult months ahead then tomorrow must bring a clear long-term plan that gives business the confidence to grow.”
