In last year’s Budget the Chancellor raised National Insurance contributions which meant from April, the rate employers paid in National Insurance rose from 13.8% to 15%.
And the threshold at which they started paying the tax on each employee’s salary was reduced from £9,100 per year to £5,000.
Susan Dubja, 65, was shopping on Pudsey High Street with her husband who is struggling to find work.
She would like to see National Insurance contributions scrapped completely in next month’s Budget.
Mrs Dubja said: “They want people to get a job, and they’re putting National Insurance up and now it is hard to get a job, businesses won’t employ my husband as it is too expensive.”
When it came to shopping, Mrs Dubja said she had seen prices go up significantly over the last few years, saying: “It’s not just pennies, it’s pounds, and it is not fair on people who are struggling.”
She said it felt like in the past few Budgets it was “the working man who is penalised”.
