Moneypenny Reports Spike in Demand as Businesses Respond to Higher Costs
Moneypenny provides telephone answering services, managed live chat, AI Voice Agents and more, for thousands of companies across the UK. It reports that May 2025 was the best month for new business since October 2024, delivering a 38% increase on the average for Q1 2025.
It says that a rise in employers' National Insurance contributions, which took effect in April 2025, is forcing businesses across sectors to rethink how they operate, prompting a strategic pivot towards outsourcing and more flexible staffing models to counter rising employment costs.
'The NIC changes are a challenge, but also a catalyst,' said Jesper With-Fogstrup, Group CEO of Moneypenny. 'Businesses are using this moment to rethink, restructure, and reinvent how they deliver customer experience in a leaner, smarter way. The future belongs to those who can adapt without compromising on quality.'
Many businesses are focusing on smarter workforce planning to reduce churn, said Moneypenny, blending AI with human expertise to boost efficiency, and using data to better match resources with demand. At the same time, they're shifting to more meaningful, flexible employee benefits and treating outsourcing as a core strategy for scaling while maintaining service quality.

'My £1,300 Universal Credit payment didn't arrive - the reason why left me gobsmacked
A man claims his Universal Credit payments were halted after a complete stranger accidentally used his National Insurance number when starting a new position. Ryan-Jay Walsh says he's been unable to work since November 2024 due to health problems. The 30 year old, from Hyde, Tameside, has been claiming Universal Credit since then, having had multiple operations. He's waiting for one final procedure. He told the Manchester Evening News he typically gets his payment - roughly £1,300 - on the ninth of each month. When no pending transaction showed up by August 7, Ryan said he began to worry. "I went on the Universal Credit portal and it said 'your employer has quoted that you earned £3,650'," he said. "I didn't sleep all night. I was stressing about the bills, calling relatives. I was really upset. "I was getting all these notifications saying 'payment declined', 'payment declined'. It's been incredibly stressful, not knowing where this money is coming from and if it's coming back at all." Ryan said he phoned for assistance on Friday, August 8, and was informed he'd been logged as a worker at a business he'd never heard of. He said that when he rang the company, managers were equally 'quite baffled'. "They confirmed that no-one matching my name has ever worked there," he added. Ryan explained that the firm discovered a new worker's National Insurance number had been entered incorrectly. He continued: "They had a National Insurance number that was different by only one digit and it was inputted incorrectly."

The business, he revealed, supplied him with evidence and offered to liaise with HMRC on his behalf. Ryan stated he was informed 'it was a waiting game and that investigating the issue could take months'. "I said 'no, that's not good enough, that's despicable'," he remarked. "I don't know how they can expect someone who relies on Universal Credit to accept that. What am I supposed to do for money?". "I've got bad anxiety, so I just kept thinking the worst. It could lead to me getting evicted. I provided them with all the evidence and they just told me to wait. "It's had a massive impact on my mental health as well as my physical health. I've had sleepless nights, just stressing and chasing everybody up." Ryan revealed he received a message on the Universal Credit portal on Tuesday (August 12), acknowledging there had been a mistake. "It acknowledged that I was owed money and said my employment status would be altered, and that I'll be paid on the 14th. I'm definitely relieved, but will feel more secure once I have received the payment and paid my bills. "I'll have to pay late fees on those now too. But it's a massive weight off my shoulders. Even if it is just a mistake of one digit, it should have flagged up on the system that the employee's name didn't match mine. It should have been noticed earlier." A Department for Work and Pensions spokesperson confirmed Ryan would receive a payment on August 14 and that the matter had been 'swiftly resolved' following an 'administrative error'. HMRC has been contacted for comment.

Rachel Reeves should be brave and raise income tax
The Chancellor Rachel Reeves is having trouble making the numbers add up. The deficit just keeps getting worse. The public sector unions are demanding more money and Labour backbenchers are protesting that cuts are unacceptable. Meanwhile, the bond markets are insisting that borrowing has reached its limit. Still, never mind. It seems that Reeves is cooking up a clever wheeze to get herself out of a tight spot with a raid on inheritance and capital gains tax. There is just one snag: it is very unlikely to work. Has the Chancellor learnt nothing from the catastrophe of her first Budget? Whether it is £30 billion, £40 billion, or even £50 billion, it does not really matter. It is clear that by the autumn Reeves will have to raise a lot of extra revenue. With a promise not to raise income tax, VAT, or employee's National Insurance, she is scrabbling around for something to fill the 'black hole'. According to reports today, she has decided on one answer. She will tighten the rules on inheritance tax so that people can no longer give away assets seven years before they die tax-free. And she will increase Capital Gains Tax (CGT), potentially making it equal to income tax. Either will mostly be paid by the people 'with the broadest shoulders'. Problem solved. Here's the catch, though. Just like her first Budget, a set of badly designed, fiddly taxes on 'wealth' will end up backfiring on her. A lifetime limit on gifts will be hugely unpopular, with every Christmas present you give to your children being monitored by HMRC. Just like the row over scrapping the winter fuel allowance, the backlash this will generate will most likely mean it has to be scrapped within months, and it will hardly raise any cash. At the same time, pushing up the rate of CGT will simply drive entrepreneurs abroad, just as her raid on the non-doms has done. Even worse, given that CGT is basically a voluntary levy – it only becomes due when you sell an asset – a 45 per cent rate will lead to lower revenues while making the UK even more unattractive to investors than it already is. Just as seriously, by flagging the tax rises, Reeves is encouraging people to give away their money now, or sell their assets before the rate increases. This also happened when she threatened higher levies in advance of introducing them last year. Given that the Labour government wants to increase public spending significantly, Reeves should be honest about it and add 2 per cent to the basic rate, as well as the higher rates, of income tax. Instead, she keeps trying to find a clever way out of the corner she has boxed herself into, and it keeps going wrong. Her first Budget was a catastrophe – and it now looks certain that her second one will be just as bad.

Scotland's deficit at £26.5bn as North Sea revenue drops
Excluding North Sea revenue, Scotland's deficit rose to £30.6bn, or 14.4% of GDP. Public sector revenue in Scotland was estimated at £91.4 bn, accounting for 8% of UK revenue. Of this, £4.1bn came from the North Sea – down from £4.9bn in 2023/24 – as energy prices and production fell. Non-North Sea revenue increased by £2.2bn (2.5%) to £87.3bn, with growth in income tax partially offset by a drop in National Insurance contributions. Total public sector expenditure in Scotland reached £117.6bn, up £6.1bn (5.5%) on the previous year. The increase was driven by higher spending on health and social protection, including the Scottish Child Payment. That represented 9.2% of total UK public spending. Finance Secretary Shona Robison said: 'The decisions we have taken here in Scotland are helping support sustainable public finances. For the fourth year in a row, devolved revenues have grown faster than devolved expenditure. 'Scotland's public finances are better than many other parts of the UK, with the third highest revenue per person in the UK, behind only London and the South East. 'The GERS statistics reflect only the current constitutional arrangements – of Scotland as part of the UK – and not an independent Scotland with its own policy, decisions on defence spending and the economy. 'GERS allocates Scotland a population share of reserved UK spending rather than accounting for real expenditure. For example, UK defence expenditure is listed as £5.1 billion, but only £2.1 billion was actually spent with industry in Scotland in 2023-24. 'Being taken out of the EU, against the will of the people of Scotland, has also hit Scotland's revenues by £2.3 billion and the higher cost of UK government debt adds £500 million to the deficit. 'Falling oil prices and a decrease in extraction present challenges going forward, but we are clear in our support for a just transition for Scotland's valued oil and gas sector, which recognises the maturity of the North Sea basin and is in line with our climate change commitments and energy security.'
