Employers must now pay an Immigration Skills Charge of up to
£1,000 per year for each skilled migrant they employ.
New regulations mean that employers must pay a fee, called the
Immigration Skills Charge, for every skilled migrant they sponsor
under the Tier 2 (General) or Tier 2 (Intra Company Transfer)
categories. The fee per migrant is £1,000 per year for larger
companies and a reduced rate of £364 for smaller
companies.
It is the employer's responsibility to pay this fee, and
failure to do so will mean that a certificate of sponsorship is
invalid.
