In today’s budget, Philip Hammond announced that self-employed people will face an increase in the amount of tax they pay.
National Insurance contributions paid by the self-employed will increase from9% to 10% in 2018.
Hammond says that is making things fairer, as self-employed people currently pay less.

It's their tax we really need to crack down on, obviously?
