Reform UK Proposes Employer Immigration Tax to Boost Domestic Employment
New policy aims to raise £20bn by increasing National Insurance rates for foreign workers, exempting health and social care sectors.
- Reform UK's proposed tax would increase National Insurance from 13.8% to 20% for employers hiring foreign workers.
- Small businesses with fewer than five employees and health and social care sectors are exempt from the tax.
- Party leaders claim the tax will incentivize hiring British workers and reduce net migration.
- Revenue from the tax is intended to fund apprenticeships and training programs for young people.
- Nigel Farage and Richard Tice emphasize the policy as a solution to the UK's 'chronic crisis of worklessness.'
