Thanks Mate

Hi there, I would like to ask one question regarding tier 1 extension. The question is if it is must to apply exactly a day before of visa expiry so that they cant start visa before the expiry date? I mean if I apply a week before lets say 1 December 2011 and actual expiry date is 5 December 2011, t...

yeh forgot about maintenance fund. One more query, I work sometimes aswell as a self employed along with my permanent job. so to show my self employed earning, What documents i need to provide to home office?

Thanks

You cannot lose points for age when doing an extension. The number of points you get is based on your age when you applied initially, not your current age. Hi mulderpf, Thats a good news then. That means, When applying for tier 1 i have already met the age criteria and secured 20 points so all I ne...

Hi All, I am a Software analyst and work for a company as a permanent employee and recently started working for another company from home when I have a chance to test their software.

You are taxed as you go along so your pay packet will adjust automatically when the employers do their payroll runs and you will have t...

Thanks ref786. I can see what has happened .... Your employer is wrong about the working under 20 hours rule as tax and NI is based on earnings rather than time worked. However with a tax code of 747L no tax will be deducted as your income is lower than the tax threshold on that tax code (and your ...

National Insurance-wise from what you have said, you won't pay any as you are below the earnings threshold. However with PAYE as it is a second job, it is likely that you should be taxed at basic rate so 20% of what you earn is taxed. (This is only going on what you have said and usual HMRC arrange...

Why are there no tax and NI deductions? It's illegal for your employer not to deduct these from your salary if you are indeed employed (even part time). Or are you earning below the thresholds and therefore are not eligible to pay? Hi. Thanks for your reply first of all. I already spoke to the petr...
