UK’s Truss to Review Rules on Tax and Strikes

Liz Truss, the front-runner to become Britain’s next prime minister, will rethink taxes paid by self-employed workers and try to limit disruptive strikes, according to an interview with the Sun newspaper.

Foreign Secretary Truss said she would order a review of the IR35 rules to make sure freelance workers are treated fairly, if she is chosen to succeed Boris Johnson as leader next month. The government’s reforms to the rules last year have faced criticism from lawmakers for being too difficult to navigate.
