Research conducted by think-tank Migrationwatch<\/a> shows that the amounts raised by the \u201cmigrant tax\u201d are paltry compared with the significant amounts spent on government programmes specifically to help migrants.<\/P>
\n

Under the Government\u2019s new scheme, to be announced formally on 19 March, anyone from outside the EU applying for student or work visa will be required to pay a new tax of \u00a350 into the Migration Trust Fund, which the Government claims will be used to help local communities pay for public services in areas where there are high levels of migrant workers. The Government claims that this will raise \u00a335 million a year. However, the Government spends over \u00a3500 million a year on schemes specifically to help migrants alone \u2013 quite apart from the extra cost of migrants to the public services.<\/P>
\n

Commenting on the announcement, Sir Andrew Green<\/a>, Chairman of Migrationwatch, said:<\/P>
\n

‘The Government say the new tax will raise \u00a335 million per year. This may sound impressive, but it is a drop in the ocean compared with the huge sums spent each year by the Government as it tries to help society cope with the impact of immigration both nationally and at the local level. A rough estimate shows that, for every \u00a31 the Government spends on schemes specifically to help migrants, its new tax will only raise about 7p. And that spending does not allow for the fact that one new home will have to be built every six minutes for new immigrants; nor the additional costs to the NHS and education services; nor the countless other costs to local services that large-scale immigration brings. Our population will hit 70 million in 20 years. 70 per cent of the increase will be thanks to immigration: this new tax will not begin to foot the bill that this population increase will present to British taxpayers.\u2019<\/P>

The table below lists only some<\/em> of the Government spending on initiatives specifically relating to immigrants.<\/P>
