Letter: The Budget: NHS and the less well-off pay for past economic mistakes
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I read with interest your report of the Chancellor's speech with regard to employers' national insurance contributions, and I quote:
Companies will have a much sharper incentive to improve their management of sick leave and to take greater interest in the health of their employees.
We at LGM Marketing Services have always taken a great interest in the health of our employees and I therefore paid for all 38 employees to have a flu vaccination last month. You can imagine my surprise, therefore, when we discovered that these vaccinations were considered by Inland Revenue to be a benefit in kind and were to be taxed as such.
Yours faithfully,
GRAHAM GREEN
Chairman
