National Insurance Contributions Bill

Does the Paymaster General accept that one of the problems is the complication of the tax system since 1997? It means that it is inevitably in the interests of employers and some employees that income should not be regarded as such but regarded as capital for lower taxation. How many of the 100 schemes that she mentioned are straightforwardly designed to turn what might be described as income, and therefore in a somewhat grey area, into capital that is thus subject to a capital gains tax levy, which is generated at a lower level?
