Jigsaw Owner Urges Government to Reverse Tax Hikes Amid Retail Concerns

Jigsaw owner David Ross urges Andy Burnham to reverse tax hikes and reform business rates, calling on him to "stop hammering Middle England." Ross believes the current tax system is stacked against retailers and their customers, and that higher bills are eating into their pay rises. He joins other retailers in calling for the threshold for employers' National Insurance to be raised to £6,000 and for changes to workers' rights to target exploitative practices rather than flexible jobs.
