ISME says the PAYE allowance change would 'offset the current discrimination' which does not allow company directors or the self-employed to claim the tax credit.

The group says public sector pay needs to be 'reined in' and warns that current levels of public spending are 'unsustainable'.

It also calls for a National Transport Management Agency to oversee all important infrastructure projects. ISME also wants commercial rates and water charges extended to other sectors, including the State and domestic households.

On pensions, it calls for PRSAs to be scrapped and replaced by an structure modelled on the SSIA special savings scheme. ISME also urges a review of the current retirement age.

Hmm, I'm only typing this as vBulletin doesn't allow you put a quote with no other text.

Well, that would be expensive and make self-employed people worse off.
