Labour’s tax break for Indian workers
Keir Starmer was last night accused of undercutting British workers to seal a £5 billion trade deal with India.
Under the agreement, tens of thousands of temporary Indian workers will be exempt from paying National Insurance in Britain, making them cheaper to hire.
New Delhi heralded the deal as an ‘unprecedented’ win, but the UK Prime Minister was accused of introducing ‘two-tier taxes’ after National Insurance contributions for British firms were increased in last year’s Budget.
