Cognizant et al get workers completely free of both employers and employees national insurance in their first 12 months in the country. They have over the years refined this to an art form. One trick is to partner two workers up and swap them every 12 months, one is here the other in India then swap, and swap again. So they perpetually have a worker here displacing a Brit from the workforce for who they have no need to pay any national insurance at all. There are other similar tricks.
I wont comment on what their current legal structure is, but “Cognizant UK Limited” used to be a company registered in Mauritius and not the UK. A lot of moving profit around so that taxes only became liable in tax havens was done.
To say nothing of the mass lifting of prime UK intellectual property and moving it to India, where it leaked and was used to undercut the British workforces.
Intra Company Transfer visas were originally invented to allow people with unique specialist knowledge of some unique process invented by the that company into the country, it has been abused on a grand scale to bring cheap low quality generic IT staff in.
The CV’s they give prospective clients are pack of lies, but the cost looks good in a spreadsheet.
The bring with them their caste on caste and anti white westerner racism, and its worth watching which castes they promote and use at the most senior levels. Racism that would be front page news if a normal UK company was doing it.
Any idiot can make money if you don’t have to pay the taxes everyone else has to, who can bypass the immigration rules that decent companies follow, pay expenses free of tax (unlike freelancers in the public sector caught already by IR35), and so on…Comment
