Also, apparently:

The government is seriously considering imposing a £1,000-a-year levy on every European Union skilled worker recruited by British employers after Brexit, the immigration minister has disclosed.

Actual WTF?!

It seems like an odd solution to "the problem" doesn't it? The problem I guess being a lack of British workers in skilled jobs.

The logic does sort of make sense if you believe that skilled EU workers undercut UK skilled workers, by c£1,000 p/a.

Does anyone know if there is currently a levy on non-EU workers?

Apparently the same fee was introduced in April for non EU workers
