What happened: The Reform party has pledged to introduce a tax on employers who hire foreign workers. They claim this would enable them to reverse last year's National Insurance increase for British employees.
Why it matters:
- This policy could affect businesses that employ foreign workers by increasing their costs.
- British workers might benefit from a potential reduction in National Insurance contributions.
MNN Take: The proposal aims to shift some tax burden from workers to employers hiring abroad, though details on implementation and impact remain limited.
