Five million low earners to be hit by stealth tax – check if you’re one of them

MILLIONS of low-earners face a stealth tax rise after the government’s mini Budget announcement.

Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng revealed a tax cut for millions of workers as he reversed a previous National Insurance hike.

And he also brought forward a planned cut to the basic rate of income tax.

But a freeze on tax bands remains in place, meaning as people earn more they face paying more tax.
