Yes, if that's your current situation...if you're applying for ILR or Tier 1 (G) extension as limited company director or a contractor .. your company is actively trading obviously that's why you're claiming points... in that case you may face challenges... tough questions... even ask for corporation tax record...but not when company is closed... and 2 years have passed... your claiming point as employed professional...ilrtier1genral wrote:I agree with fn286, as long as someone only submitted divergent vouchers while extending the visa if they have submitted company accounts saying as sole share holder then there might be some possible digging at corporation tax.
But in the end it's all depends upon case to case and more importantly case worker.
Many thanks

ILR will be rejected only in ONE scenario - DECEPTION - i.e you claimed X amount at Tier 1 renewal but declared less income to HMRC be it SA or Company Return. If you have claimed £100 as income at renewal, you should have declared minimum £100 for tax purpose for that year. Even if you earned another £100 subsequently for the same tax year and claimed £80 (legitimately) as expense to reduce tax liability.
If the claimed period was spread across two accounting period, the income should have been declared accordingly. For eg If for period 1 - £40 and period 2 - £60. In such situation you must have declared minimum £40 in period 1 tax return and minimum £60 in period 2 tax return. Refer to below image for scenario. If someone has done something similar, the case worker will reject ILR on the basis of deception. Technically, even if someone gets ILR in below scenario, and Home Office finds two years later that deception was involved, they can revoke the ILR. Appeal etc after that is a separate issue.
My understanding is that the case worker will only check returns to verify that you have declared same income to HMRC that you claimed for points at renewal.
It doesn't matter if the applicant has closed the company now or working as salaried employee at ILR application.
Hi fn286,fn286 wrote: I don't have P60's from past years but I have the alternate that I also quoted on my reply to mrehanashraf. That's employment history letter from HMRC (RRS one, with no employer names, salary or NI amounts) that is HO approved format. It shows that I paid NI in last 4 years hence I was economically active.
