The Reform party has announced plans for an “employer immigration tax” on companies that choose to employ overseas workers. FactCheck takes a look.
FactCheck takes a look.National insurance is a tax paid by employees and employers.to require businesses to pay a national insurance “premium” if the worker is from overseas.
But Mr Tice said there would be exemptions for businesses employing five people or fewer, and for health and social care. She also explained that if this policy was implemented, “UK firms struggling to recruit for positions within their organisation may have no choice but to establish companies in other countries”, which would allow companies to hire the most suitable candidates for the job, who would then only enter the UK for business meetings and other similar purposes.
Mr Brindle also said “most economists would expect that higher charges would reduce employers’ demand for migrant workers,” but this depends on whether firms can pass the costs onto migrants through lower wages. Harry Qiu Yu Yu, immigration solicitor and associate at law firm Russell-Cooke, told FactCheck that he’s previously seen “such ‘cost-upping’ strategies fail to achieve their objectives”., which he said has resulted in “draconian costs for employers and in some cases migrant workers”.
