There is a lot more margin in it as they will be paying corporate taxes offshore in tax havens, will have expenses scams all worked out so can maximise untaxed payments, will avoid national insurance for 12 months and so on and so on.

Originally posted by GillsMan View PostMy company has just successfully been granted a restricted license to allow us to convert one of our Tier 5 workers to a Tier 2 worker, giving her an additional 5 years in the country (tied to our job). She's a Canadian citizen and was here on a youth mobility visa.
First you have to become a sponsor, and pay about £500; then you need to apply for a license, and this involves a market labour test if it's not on the shortage list, then once that's granted, the rest is pretty easy.
I take my responsibilities as a sponsor extremely seriously, and so should you - there's a lot you have to do and and keep up on. You should have good HR procedures in place, proper contracts, etc so that you can demonstrate to the home office that you taking your responsibilities seriously.

Thank you.
It's not a shortcut to bring mates in, they're wise to that.

Erm... Did you do any research first? Might have been better doing a bit first and coming with some specific questions rather than 'can someone tell me how to do it'
