UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]
I would add to this that many Polish people are paying too much tax, until they have a permanent NI number they have a temporary one, the agency they work for doesn't care so they just get taxed at the highest rate and they are completely unaware of the fact that the first 4k or so that you earn is tax free, or how to claim it back. Bearing this in mind, it is only fair they should get family tax credit if they have children etc.
