Closed Allow international students to be self employed

Closed on

Allow international students to take part in business activity e.g. by having access to self-employed roles such as, but not limited to, earning through content creation or delivery roles.

The UK economy needs to recover after the hit it has taken from the coronavirus pandemic. Rather than fully relying on raising taxes on individuals and corporations, it is also worth shifting attention to other avenues of earning revenue such as the taxes from the income that can be brought by business activity undertaken by international students. This has great potential and needs to be explored.
