Scrap NHS surcharge for non EU living in UK who already pay N.I contributions

Petition Details

It has come to the notice of Association of Africans in Scotland (AAS), a charitable organisation that non EU families who legally live, work&pay taxes/N.I in the UK are asked to cough up an additional NHS surcharge (separate from the HO fees&other costs) when they renew their immigration documents

Additional Information

Telegraph of 5 February 2018, reported Health minister saying: "Our NHS is always there when you need it, paid for by British taxpayers. These people, even though non-EU, pay taxes/NI as well which goes into the NHS. AAS believes in the United Kingdom as a country which champions fairness & subjecting applicants who already pay N.I to pay another mandatory NHS surcharge amounts to double taxation & therefore an unfair practice. AAS is therefore calling for a review and scrapping of this charge.
