Several tax-related changes to take effect

A number of tax changes are set to take effect in April, with National Insurance contributions for employers and a facet of Capital Gains Tax among them.

Employer NICs will rise from 13.8%, as it stands now, to 15% from 6 April 2025. And there are changes afoot for the Secondary Threshold – the point at which employers
become liable to pay NICs on employees’ earnings.
