as per this https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/residence, we shouldn't be liable for tax on overseas income? Residency for tax purposes is a very tricky area. You can be tax resident in several countries at the time unless you take steps to make sure that you aren't. The only way to be 100% safe...

Very good post and discussion as well as information share. I think most people with second extension to apply for ILR have similar issue on overseas earnings. otherwise, no need to apply for second extension for being outsde of UK for 180 days where overseas earnings were generated. I think most pe...

similar case. same question.

not sure if HO will find trouble on overseas earnings and tax issue.

@uktierone its really tough question, better to consult with expert accountant. the rules is if you have any income out of UK which is over £300, you need to fill a tax return to HMRC if you are resident of UK.

Yes. I have similar case. I had my overseas earnings for my initial grant of T1 and first extension as the earnings were generated overseas that no tax record for the above period at HMRC. For the rest of the five years during my stay in the UK, ie. second extension and ILR 5-y route, I have been st...

Hi All, I am expecting to apply for ILR next year in July. I have never claimed points for self-employment.
