Scrap the Immigration Health Surcharge for those living & working in the UK
We believe the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) is causing severe financial harm to migrants and their families. At present, the standard IHS fee is £1,035 per year. For a 10-year visa, this amounts to £10,350. We believe migrants working and paying taxes should be exempt from paying the IHS.

Keep 5-year ILR for Health and Care visa holders to protect the NHS

Scrap Payments on Account and increase self-employed personal allowance to £20k
Self-employed create jobs & drive growth, and we think the Payments on Account would be better invested in businesses. If we are late to pay it we pay interest, which we think is unfair! We call on the Government to scrap it and to raise the Personal Allowance to £20k for self-employed.
