The UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, announced this week that fines will to be more than tripled for employers and landlords who allow illegal migrants to work for them or rent their properties.

The civil or non-criminal penalty for employers, last raised in 2014, will be increased to up to £45,000 per illegal worker for a first breach from £15,000, and up to £60,000 for repeat breaches from £20,000.

Fines will rise from £80 per lodger and £1,000 per occupier for a first breach to up to £5,000 per lodger and £10,000 per occupier.

Repeat offenders will face fines of £10,000 per lodger and £20,000 per occupier, up from £500 and £3,000 respectively.

The higher penalties, which require a lower burden of proof than a criminal prosecution, will be introduced in 2024.

The Home Office will consult on options to strengthen action against licensed businesses who are employing illegal workers later this year.

Almost 5,000 civil penalties have been issued to employers with a total value of £88.4m since 2018.

In the same period, buy-to-let landlords have been hit with over 320 civil penalties valued at £215,500.

Minister for Immigration Robert Jenrick said that employers and landlords should already be checking the eligibility of anyone they employ or let a property to. There are a number of ways to do this, which are not changing, including via a manual check of original documentation and a Home Office online checking system. The online check takes only 5 minutes.

Over 17,000 people have entered the UK illegally this year on small boats from France.

UK inflation fell to 6.8% (from 7.9) this week raising hopes that the Bank of England will hold interest rates at 5,25% - the highest for 15 years - next month.

However, with core inflation unchanged at 6.9% interest rates could rise to 5.5% adding further pressure on the housing market and driving the UK further towards a recession.

We are not out the economic woods yet, so learning how to mange your money has never been so crucial.
