I see that the government is to introduce a levy on skilled migrants from outside the EU.
Football clubs will have no problem about paying this - a £1000 is going to be nothing to them.That attitude may change if the chancellor decides that the levy becomes a percentage of that migrant's income though: imagine Man City having to pay 5%, say, of Aguero or Toure's wages.
It's a bonkers measure for the rest of economy, however. The area that I know about (IT and high tech) employs large numbers of foreign workers because they simply can't find enough people with the right skills here.
Why is a 'party of business' putting a tax on companies, hindering their competitiveness? Seems crazy to me
