UK employers would have to pay a £1,000-a-year fee per EU skilled worker after Brexit under new government plans | The Independent
'Employers would have to pay a £1,000-a-year fee for every EU skilled worker they bring in after Brexit, under plans being considered by the Government. '
'An “immigration skills levy” – already being introduced for staff from the rest of the world – could be extended to the EU, the immigration minister said. '
'It could hand the British farming industry a significant loophole to escape the promised restrictions on EU migration without counting towards the Government’s net migration target. '
'The horticultural industry alone is estimated to need 90,000 seasonal workers by 2019, with 95 per cent of British-grown berries picked by workers from other EU countries. '
'Robert Goodwill said the Brexit result showed voters believed that companies are relying too much on migrants to fill roles. '
