JD Sports chairman Andrew Higginson warns that upcoming tax increases in the UK will heavily burden businesses, potentially leading to significant inflation. He highlights a 6.7% rise in the National Living Wage and a £25bn increase in National Insurance contributions as key factors driving up retail prices.

Higginson argues that these changes will force companies to cut investment and jobs or raise prices, negating any benefits from wage increases. He stresses that without a gradual implementation of these tax hikes, the retail sector will face severe challenges.
