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

OK. So in a way it's a nothing story*, it is simply saying if we are out of the EU then the general rules will be applied across the board.... unless an exemption is negotiated obvs. It's then being spun into a story to appeal to the anti-immigration crowd.
Some sort of hypothecation from CT to training programmes or a fee for not having an apprenticeship scheme seems like a more sensible way to solve UK skills shortage.
*other than signalling / signposting the government's anti-immigration rhetoric, which is a bad thing.

Geez, they were quiet about this! I thought I was generally aware of the nonsense that non-EU immigrants get subject to, but completely missed this one.

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.
