I am applying for ILR in May 2016. Some background
1) First entered UK - May 2011 on Tier 1 General.
2) Extension in Dec 2013 for 3 years. So current leave to remain under Tier 1 G is Dec 2016
3) My previous extension was based on UK Earnings + Earnings abroad(my permanent domicile country for now). The taxes have been payed and returns filed to that tax authority along with returns every year since 2004(since it is my home country.
4) I operate a limited Company in the UK and my accountant did not file SAR for the first 2 years (2011-12, 2012-13). I called up HMRC and SAR are fine for 2013-14, 2014-15. My employment history exists since 2011.
My Query
1) In the SAR for 2013-14, the income I earned in my domicile country is not shown. This was used for my last extension (before filing SAR). The UK earnings are correctIy reflected. I do have my tax returns from my domicile country though. I am not sure if this is required to be shown in UK SAR as well. Should I be amending my SAR for 2013-14.
2) My accountant says that since the UTR was issued only in 2013-14 by HMRC, and since I did not cross the threshold dividend, SAR is not necessary for 2011-12, 2012-13. But reading some of the posts here really scares me that I might be refused ILR. Should I file retrospectively and get a solicitor?
I would greatly appreciate any advice.
