Starmer declined to clarify whether the tax lock in Labour's manifesto includes employers' national insurance, leaving analysts and opponents questioning the sincerity of Labour's fiscal promises.
Rachel Reeves, set to deliver her first budget, is urged to raise over £20 billion through tax reforms amid speculation that changes to employer contributions are under consideration.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies highlighted the potential of raising significant revenue through alterations in employer NICs on pension contributions, despite Labour's existing tax pledge challenges.
