Create one-off amnesty with extra tax obligation for undocumented people
Introduce a one-off amnesty for undocumented people currently living in the UK without a legal right to remain, granting them legal status to work. As part of this process those who are given the right to remain in the UK could pay a temporary additional tax to support the economy & public services
We believe that a scheme like this, combined with a temporary extra tax contribution, would bring people into the formal workforce, increase revenue for the Treasury, reduce exploitation, and promote community safety. In our view, countries that have introduced similar schemes have seen economic and social benefits and we believe this would create a fair, practical, and compassionate solution for the UK.
