What the petition asks
From 2015, self employed people have to pay 9% national insurance on all profits over £8000 which brings your total yearly tax up to near a whopping 29% per year. Previously self employed people only had to pay a rate of £2.80 per week class 2 national insurance as they were not directly employed.
