Focus on NIC Increase 1 scaled

The Government is introducing a new UK-wide Health and Social Care Levy which will mean significant extra costs for both employers and employees. Self-employed people and those receiving dividend income will also be impacted.


A standalone Levy charge will be introduced from April 2023, to give HMRC time to put in place systems and procedures to deal with what will effectively be a new tax. Until the Levy is introduced, most NIC rates will rise temporarily by 1.25 percentage points from April 2022.
