Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Reform UK Proposes Tax On Hiring Foreign Workers
Caption: Reform UK Proposes Tax On Hiring Foreign Workers. Nigel Farage's Reform UK has unveiled plans to impose a new tax on companies that hire foreign workers if the party wins the next general election. The party says the policy would help fund a reduction in National Insurance contributions for employers hiring British workers. Reform argues the proposal would encourage firms to recruit unemployed people in the UK rather than relying on overseas labour. The party also wants to reverse Labour’s increase in employer National Insurance rates for British employees, while keeping the higher rate for foreign workers. Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick said the plan would end what he described as a “cheap migrant labour racket”. Full details of the proposed levy are expected to be released following consultations with businesses. Reform says the policy would raise enough money to offset the cost of cutting National Insurance for British workers.
