Reform UK\u2019s Robert Jenrick has said the party would undo Rachel Reeves\u2019 \u00a325bn tax rise on employers\u2019 national insurance contributions \u2013 but only when employers hire British workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jenrick said Reform was set to put \u201cBritish workers<\/a> first, migrant workers second\u201d by reforming tax to treat Britons differently to workers taken from overseas.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Reform\u2019s Treasury spokesman said a new tapered levy would be applied on employers taking on migrant workers while Reeves\u2019 tax hike on businesses in her first Budget would be reversed.\u00a0<\/p>\n He said the NICs<\/a> cut for British workers would be funded by the new tax on hiring foreign workers and reduced welfare spending as fewer Britons would claim benefits.<\/p>\n In an address on Monday, Jenrick said: \u201cThe experiment of letting in millions of low-wage migrants \u2014 as millions of Brits languish on benefits \u2014 has failed catastrophically. Reform will end it.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that if foreign workers were left unemployed, they should leave the country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n In Reeves\u2019 first Budget, the salary threshold for employer NICs was lowered to \u00a35,000 while the tax rate was increased to 15 per cent from 13.8 per cent. The policy raised \u00a325bn altogether.\u00a0 Reform said it would reverse the rise in the tax rate but not the drop in the salary threshold, which was viewed by economists as the more damaging side of the tax cut.<\/p>\n The tax would be funded by a new levy on foreign workers, which would be graduated according to the number of people employed. The same NICs tax rate of 15 per cent would still apply to employers when foreign nationals are employed.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jenrick prioritises tax cuts for Britons<\/p>\n Jenrick told journalists that the party would not provide a full assessment on the policy\u2019s costs as there were up to three years until the next scheduled General Election.\u00a0<\/p>\n The latest tax cut announced by Reform follows a burst of announcements relating to economics policymaking. The party recently confirmed it would raise the VAT<\/a> registration threshold from \u00a390,000 to \u00a3150,000 in a bid to help small businesses, though the announcement has faced scrutiny over whether it can support growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n Reform\u2019s announcements precede a crunch by-election in Makerfield on Thursday as Labour\u2019s Andy Burnham looks set to beat the party\u2019s candidate Robert Kenyon.\u00a0<\/p>\n Policies have also more closely addressed immigration, with Reform also proposing to scrap indefinite leave to remain for foreign nationals and to not allow visas for some migrant workers to be renewed.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tRead more<\/p>\n
