It is a migrant’s immigration status that determines whether or not they pay the immigration health surcharge, not their tax contributions or their profession.

As set out in our election manifesto, the Surcharge will be further increased to ensure affected migrants broadly cover the cost of NHS services provided to them. Detailed plans for implementing this will be set out shortly.
