LEVY ON COMPANIES HIRING NON-EU WORKERS

PM  David Cameron
has to laugh about 
it himself  because
corporations pay hardly,
if any, of their taxes
under Tory Government
leave alone this Levy  

This must be a joke? David Cameron copies a pledge from Ed Miliband, Labour’s manifesto.

Government is planning to bring a levy when hiring non-EU workers, funding apprenticeships.

This has to be seen to be believed. Do not forget companies' directors are mostly Conservatives and many and many of them donors.

At the same time he promised, mind you it is another promise, to invest the money into more places of apprenticeships.

Shadow Immigration Minister David Hanson said: “It’s good the Government has finally listened to the calls we’ve made for years to use British skills first. Indeed, when called about for companies employing skilled migrant to take on an apprentice. It’s good to see David Cameron agrees with us.”

Directors of various companies complained about the extra cost. The Institute of Director criticised it as “tax on employing people from abroad.”

Director –General Simon Walker said: “This seems particular odd given how depending the UK’s economy is on international skills and expertise.”

Migrant Advice Council trying to dampen down on non-EU migrants and set up a package which includes the new levy. However, now comes the contradiction. At the same time the government could also raise the number of non-EU nationalities that need to earn, will be given a visa. This politic looks like taking peas out of one pot and put is in another.

David Cameron is desperate to show that he is bringing down the immigration which is a problem at the moment but will this really bring the result?

Katja Hall, department director-general at the CBI, said: “Stopping high skilled workers coming to Britain could damage the economy.  We understand the public’s concern around immigration but limiting highly skilled workers coming to the UK is not the answer. They bring their skill and ideas to this county; pay their taxes and boasting growth.”
