Self-employed people pay £156 more Pension Tax every year than employees, but get the same State Pension*.

The official name of the Pension Tax is Class 2 National Insurance and it costs £156 a year (£3 a week). If you're self-employed and you don't pay Class 2 National Insurance, then your State Pension will be lower.

Employees don't have to pay this tax. It's a sneaky way for the Government to squeeze more money out of self-employed people, who already miss out on sick pay, holiday pay and other employee benefits.

In 2015, the Government promised to abolish Class 2 NICs – George Osborne even tweeted it! But the Government went back on its promise, and self-employed people are still paying the £156 Pension Tax today.

Join us in demanding that the self-employed £156 Pension Tax is abolished.
