Tesco is trialling shorter opening hours at some Express stores, closing at 10pm rather than 11pm, after being hit by a £235million rise in staff costs from Rachel Reeves's tax raid.
Britain's biggest supermarket is understood to be testing reduced hours at less profitable stores, which have been internally dubbed "Express Lite" shops.
The changes come after the Chancellor's Budget took effect in April, with employers now paying National Insurance equivalent to 15 per cent of workers' pay packets, up from 13.8 per cent previously.
The threshold at which the tax kicks in has also fallen from earnings of £9,100 a year to £5,000.
