National Insurance Contributions (Rate Ceilings) Act 2015
Summary
This Act sets a maximum limit on how much National Insurance Contributions can be charged. National Insurance is a tax that workers and employers pay to fund benefits like pensions and the NHS—this law ensures these rates cannot be increased beyond a fixed ceiling.
