Hi folks The wisest course of action for self-employed people would be to take all tax documents in order to support their case. In addition, employed individuals can only submit 12 months’ payslips and bank statements as Gringo did on 17 Jan 2014, and ILR was approved. Cheers Ali That is a very go...

For all the folks here who think HO can "pick a phone" and verify your details - check the links below. In UK, that is why we have laws and legislations. For for your info, such laws are applicable to government departments as well. a) http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/29/contents ...

Guys, Its not complicated, you don't have to read a 5 paragraph essay to be successful with your application. Idea is : Keep it Simple and Straightforward(KISS) If "You work"....and "your work" tells about your status and the documents to take. If you take original documents, the...

Hi Vin123, Very helpful discussion. I have a question that if Someone is claiming Salary+Dividend for 12 months (Dec 2012 - Nov 2013) and Company year end is January every year. Then there is a chance that Company Accounts will not match the claimed period (Dec 2012 - Nov 2013) because claimed divi...

You might be right in saying that HO has no direct access to HMRC database , but HO already has a mandate to speak on your behalf through your application . I believe that HMRC may have dedicated lines for HO and case worker using your NI or UTR number ask few questions about your tax history . If ...

Will tell her get the certificate ready and even in the maternity leave she earn more than £14000. Her absences in whole 5 years around 60 days and all those absences are under annual leave, does she need prove a company letter to say it is annual leave or the payslips and p60s will be enough to pr...

UKBA cannot access that information from HMRC records, hence you have to take the original proof with you on the day. Read the declaration part of the application form again, the question whether UKBA and HMRC computers are linked or not is irrelevant UKBA can access any info they want about the ap...

My friend has 6 years p60s and all yearly income are met ho requirement except one year for maternity leave. Does she need submit any business account etc.. in her initial t1g and extension she only submitted payslips ans p60s and she is not a director of company any more as the company has been so...

For Tier 1 General 5 year employed route, do HO still check tax records with HMRC? was wondering as if your work in a company then you already get tax deducted by employer before you get salary each month in your account HO will not and cannot check with HMRC or companies house records. Under norma...

So if a director of comapny with shareholding only take income monthly though out whole 5 years and never take dividents what this stiuation will be like? That's perfectly a possible case. For montlhy income, there will be payslips, and for payslips there will be a P60 issued at the end of year. So...

pinkpop, There is a lot of 'self-employment' misunderstanding spread in this forum as I see it. It is very simple and a universal rule in any country except monopolies - you work, you generate a revenue or income and you pay tax to the government. Whether you worked as a limited company director wit...

It is not mule difficult as fn286 thinks. "self-employed" is a category that UKBA puts extension application. Self-employed normally operates in 2 modes a) via limited company (shareholders to take dividend income) OR b) by registering themselves as self-employed and paying Class 2 NIC Onc...

UKBA considers limited company director-employed+shareholders as self employment. So any applicant who goes for an Extension or ILR MUST take the following, otherwise they stand a good chance for rejection. For company a) limited company account statements for financial years showing net profit (fro...

Hi Vin123, Thank you so much for your quick reply. I'm not self employed any more since I got a nice job. I started working as a sole director of my limited company between June 2011 and March 2012, and my extension was granted on the basis of earning via limited company dividends only (no PAYE at ...

Ok, folks, fn286, wanderer - your last chance to get this right. And it appears like someone has mis informed fn286. If you are self-employed: you MUST file a tax return. A limited company director without a shareholding in a company is NOT self-employed. However, all active company directors must f...

Wanderer, Please don't escape the scene - understand this for your benefit. A Limited company director is considered as self-employed and he or she is required to file a tax return. The reason being, a directors pay can 'vary' even if he or she is not a shareholder of the company or not. For people ...

@fn286 It does not matter tier 1 extn or ILR - it is the same set of documents you need to take from a income demostration perspective. Re: self-employment. I still stick to my guns, and you can ask anyone else or come on, Wanderer - prove me wrong !! Once again, I repeat - If you are a sole direct...

I think you underestimate the power of HMRC, and you need to study some Company Law, being a Director is not self employment. Come back to us then when you've done a little reading...... you meant UKBA :D ; right ? Check this http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/leaflets/es-fs1.pdf http://s29.postimg.org/f6wf1ti...

If you are sole director with 100% shareholding, that is considered as self employment. In UK, corporation tax is not that 'heavy'. Re: Expenses A company will have 'expenses' if it makes a revenue. It is not UKBA' official job to question about validity of expenses claimed and its admissibility by ...

Hi both No confusion. If you are self-employed as a sole director and 100% shareholder of a company, then your yearly income to show is = companies net profit + Salary you draw from company accounts(if any). You may add dividend vouchers as well, but it does not matter in the above scenario. However...
