Thank You chaps (John, Matt and Ramesh). Appreciate your efforts in replying and getting into the discussion :) Am sure this thread will help others in the future. Think I will have to take a call when I fill in the form in three weeks time. Ramesh, who is/was in a similar situation to the one I am ...
Twist! You have a valid point John. However, ..aren't being self-employed and paying tax via PAYE contradictory? Doesn't paying tax via PAYE make one an employee...?? (after all my PAYE is paid by my company when it pays me a salary. Got the payslips to prove it.) Therefore, if I am an employee, and...
Thanks John :) My accountant had filed my 2010-2011 tax returns online and I have a full electronic copy of the same. I rang up HMRC today and they confirmed they have received the return and I am up to date on all formalities as per their records. They also have me down as director of my company as...
Thank You John. I seem to have overlooked that bit of definition on "self-employed"! However, now that I am confirmed as being self-employed, doesn't the following bit from the Guidance form apply to me? " 3.1 – 3.5. If you do not pay income tax through PAYE you must demonstrate tha...
Hi All, Quick question :-) I have been an employee of various companies over the last six years with no break. Got my ILR last November. I went into IT contract work forming my own Limited Company (I am the director of the company and it's only employee) in March 2011. As no returns have been submit...
Many Congratulations !!! Coming back to my 'reputed company', it was not TCS but Wipro. I am no longer with that company now. I think I am going to follow your advice and provide my bank statements for economic activity (Salary Credit etc.) for the period while I was with Wipro for my ILR applicati...
GOT IT !!!! Called up the home office guy and got the good news this morning. The originals should reach me from the Cardiff office today and the passport with visa stamped in it from Sheffield a couple of days later. Lesson learnt, if your P-60 is at odds with your bank statements or Work Permit et...
Nopes. Still waiting... Hello mate. Do update your outcome in the forum. I am in the same boat where I was on intially on workpermit of a reputed Indian company and never received any P60s. During Tier1 extension, I had provided stamped salary slips (didn't have any deductions mentioned in salary s...
FYI, thought I'd add this bit in here. The NI number to call if you want a statement of the NI contributions made in your name by your employer or yourself is: 0845 302 1479. I am getting both the HMRC and NI statements sent to me. Only required a phone call to each number and proving my ID on the p...
Didn't get a call yet. I called the guy up today morning. He was off on training all of last week and just got back. He said he will take a look today. Think I might get a call from him sometime today if he insists on the P-60 explanation. Hope like hell he doesn't and is satisfied with the Bank Sta...
Hi Sri, Thank you for your reply. I was getting a little anxious about the whole thing. I walked into the Cardiff PEO last week and paid the premium rate. I submitted all five years P60 as I had them (in hindsight I should maybe have noticed that the salary is a little low in some of them and perhap...
Hi guys, haven't yet heard back from my case worker. Will call him tomorrow. In case he gets a bee in his bonnet about that P60, can someone please recommend how to go about approaching a lawyer to proceed with my case? What will the lawyer ask for and what kind of services can he/she offer? Thanks!...
Hi all. My situation is a little unique.. I've got all the documents, but the information given in them is not satisfactory for the home office! The salary shown in my P60s is significantly lower than claimed in my work permit. The lowest salary is during the first two years of my "deputation&q...
Thanks for the prompt reply KP. Much appreciated :) Well, I certainly don't want to spend the next year "growing" in a permie role.. not unless it's a high paying one as well. I feel I've grown enough and would like to see some big moolah now :D People my age are raking in the dosh but the...
