<p>The Immigration Skills Charge (ISC), introduced on 6 April, is a charge paid by
UK-based employers sponsoring non-EEA nationals under Tier 2, our main immigration
work route.</p><p>The ISC is designed to incentivise employers to invest in training
and upskilling the resident workforce. Income raised by the Charge will be used to
address skills gaps in the UK workforce - which will be of benefit to businesses in
the long term.</p><p>There is a flat rate of £1,000 per Tier 2 migrant sponsored per
year but small or charitable sponsors already have a reduced rate of £364 per migrant
per year.</p>
