I love India. I used to live in India. I want to trade with India.
But what should have been a massive 'win' has been marred by the fact that NI exemption for Indian workers, when British employees see the same tax hiked, means it will be far cheaper to hire foreign staff than provide jobs to our own
And that is just plain wrong. In fact, it's a disgrace.
I think it would be better to wait for the full details of the UK-India trade deal including a proper impact assessment before leaping to judgement, but here goes anyway...
At first sight this deal looks like a win-win, including the agreement to exempt Indian workers from social security contributions in the UK (and vice versa).
This appears to be a standard agreement to avoid double taxation for people working here temporarily, just like we already have with many other countries.
Without it, Indian workers and their employers in the UK have to pay social security contributions in both the UK and India, even though they are not eligible for all the benefits (especially the state pension) that National Insurance gets you.
What's more, the worker/employer will still have to pay Indian social security contributions, which are similar to those in the UK, as well as other additional costs including visa/sponsorship fees and the NHS surcharge.
So this deal alone will not allow Indian workers to 'undercut' British ones, especially as visa numbers will still be limited. Instead, it creates a level playing field between the two, which is surely a good thing?
I stand ready to be corrected, but does anyone think I'm wrong on this? ๐ค

@zaelefty@BarryNL@Femi_Sorry You seem to have fallen into the trap of conflation yourself.
You differentiate woman (gender) and female (sex). But you then say, "masculine girls are still girls", instead of "masculine girls are still female".
