Very Badly written & misleading article by MSE

in Cutting tax
Shockingly poor article on MSE's Facebook page today.
Headline states that the reduction in National Insurance contributions to 8% will mean an increase in tax paid (thus a number of commenter believe that means a reduction in take home pay).
Feels politically motivated.

Sounds like the sort of headline you might expect to see in the Daily Mail et al, or as clickbait for GB news.penners324 said:Shockingly poor article on MSE's Facebook page today.

Yes, some people who had pay rises may pay more tax, but they'd still be taking more home, and more thanks to the NI cut.
I guess that's not a snappy headline for a graphic though.0
