Seek to amend the UK-India trade deal to ensure it is fair for UK IT workers
We urge the Government to seek to amend the UK-India trade deal by removing national insurance exemptions, ensuring equal National Insurance contributions and preventing the possibility of overseas outsourcing firms from undercutting UK professionals.
We believe the UK-India deal allows Indian IT workers to avoid NI while UK workers pay full tax and NI. We are concerned about outsourcing firms exploiting this. We are concerned about imbalances in visas, voting rights, use of the NHS and schooling. We feel the deal may lead to earnings leaving the UK for their home country, offering little economic return. We believe this deal could be damaging economically and undermine public trust in the UK’s trade, tax and immigration systems.
