Reform UK’s treasury spokesperson, Robert Jenrick, says the party would change immigration-linked economic policy by introducing higher costs for employers who hire foreign workers. Jenrick’s proposal includes raising employers’ National Insurance contributions and creating a new “migrant labour levy.” The party frames the plan as part of broader reform, including plans to dismantle or “tear up” a key element associated with the Brexit deal. However, details beyond the levy and employer tax increases are not fully specified in the available reporting. The proposal would affect companies that employ migrant workers by increasing payroll-related charges. The reporting also indicates the plan is positioned within Reform’s wider agenda for restructuring arrangements following Brexit, but it does not provide further information in the excerpts about how the levy would be calculated, when it would start, or which visa categories would be covered.
