Yes official documents from employer and government department should suffice. You could add any council tax, voter registration or medical-related documents into the mix if you have them. Thanks And just to clarify: Fact that my emplyment started on 2 September 2013, but HMRC records reflect the e...

You live in Scotland? Do you have children? If yes, then in that case the Police will likely be sending a report of this to the "Named Person" for your kids. Be careful friend. This is how they start "building a picture" in order to maybe take your children away from you. They'll...

Why do people use this forum to ask utter useless kind of questions? And then other's jump in with all kind of suggestions and advice. I mean, is it really difficult to carry a passport, BRP or driving license? Why not just carry them? If someone asks for them, you have them. If they are not requir...

Interesting - thanks for the tip.

I will make sure to have my BRP with me as this is usually accepted as ID.

Many thanks guys, for the helpful responses.

Now that my bona fides for asking have been (presumably) approved...

I have done some research and the Post Office website suggests to bring the Enrolment Notification Letter from the HO.

But, do I also need to bring a form of ID such as my existing Passport or BRP?

Many thanks in advance.

Or you could just look at what the law actually says, right here:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/197 ... /7/enacted

HMRC, as much as they would like to be, are not (thankfully) the law.

He was quicker to respond with a useless snide comment than with anything useful haha

Why even bother expending the energy bro?

Letter not yet received. Am asking ahead of time as need to send off Current Passport as ID for exchange of country of origin driving licence for a GB Licence with DVLA. 5 year deadline for said exchange is approaching. Timescale on this is circa 4 weeks for return of docs. If BRP or Passport can be...

The joys of too much information... HMRC website is wrong, as it often is. It's not the law. Consider the following simple yet common scenario: Ltd Co Director pays himself a salary via PAYE. He pays himself no Dividends as Owner. What additional income / tax liability has been missed in this scenar...

Directors don't need to do Self Assessment solely by dint of their role as Directors. Directors will either receive a salary, in which case they will be paying tax via PAYE or They will pay themselves dividends as Shareholders (in the case of Director/Owner Ltd co's) in which case, yes, they need to...

Hi all,

For the biometrics appointment, what do I need to take with me? Is there a specific type of ID required, eg,

BRP
or
Passport

etc?

Thanks

Thank you Follow up My 2nd referee (who is a NZ Citizen), is not fully at ease with the British postcode system. As such, she entered her postcode in the following format: X00-XX When it should have been: X0-0XX It is still correct, just incorrectly distributed between the 2 boxes. Will this be a pr...

Dear all,

My second referee entered her name in lowercase rather than uppercase.

She did use black ink.

Will this be acceptable?

Am I the only one who senses a form update coming?

A lot of the new guidance references do not correspond to the Jan 16 form's layout.

Sorry to clarify - "a" above is incorrect. If you pay yourself a wage as a Director of a Limited Company, the tax for this will be dealt with via PAYE, and therefore you have no need to perform self-assessment in this case. Only if the Dividends you pay yourself exceed £5,000 in a year do ...

Guys I appreciate that this is a technical question, so I have asked the question on a specialist accountancy website forum. The answer from the gurus there is as follows. I will just leave this here for the future benefit and reference of members who may be searching on this topic: There is no lega...

I should stress that I am specifically asking regarding self-assessment here for the 15/16 tax year, NOT corporation tax or annual accounts for the company, which has been trading for less than 1 year and therefore has no first year accounts and no first year tax liability yet.

Hi friends Just topping this post as it has dropped off the first page and I haven't received a reply yet. Here is the crux of my question, for clarity: If I apply for Citizenship now, do I need to sort out and file my self-assessment before doing so for the 15/16 tax year, even though it is not due...

Hi guys.

Any help advice from seniors would be much appreciated.

Here's an interesting follow-up to this. I have now received ILR and am ready to apply for Citizenship (spouse is British). Tax Year Runs from 6 April 2015 - 5 April 2016 Company was formed 16 November 2015 and started trading I am a Director of that company and therefore must register for self-asse...

Thank you. Some additional questions. 1. In Section 6 of the AN Form, specifically 6.7, for JCAP applications, can I select "No" to the question "BRP enclosed?". I prefer to hold on to my BRP until citizenship is granted and then return it within 5 days. If I do select "No&q...

OK. Slightly different question - bit unique maybe. Section 1.28 My mother's full name at my birth was the same surname as my father's - they were married at my birth. However, my father subsequently passed away and my mother remarried and changed her name to my step-father's name, which is her curr...

And presumably that should go in the "Additional Info" Section, rather than the specific box for British Passport Numbers I would think?

Sorry I'm totally at cross purposes with you here.

What is "highlighted bit above"?
