what do you think about this ?
Hi Kirankhalil75
I am not sure company director has to file self-Assessment or not but I see it seems to me that must need to file self-assessment. Because
Who must send a tax return
out all points below two there
# you were a company director - unless it was for a non-profit organisation (eg a charity) and you didn’t get any pay or benefits, like a company car
# you got dividends from shares and you’re a higher or additional rate taxpayer - but if you don’t need to send a return for any other reason
So may be accountant pick the 2nd one for you when he/she advise you that you do not need it. In practice I am not clear but in theory it seems all directors (in our case if there is dividend income).
I think UKVI case worker looking for the self-assessment because from that one point they are getting all the income no matter what is the source of income as probably self-assessment is something where all the income is declared there.
From applicant point of view i think, we need to represent in a way that whatever the income we claim in the applications everything taxed through HMRC.
Now after you submit the self-Assessment in March 2016, is that incurred your new tax liability or actually it’s just added on your assessment but there is no additional tax liability (I have no idea about dividend tax). If there is no new tax liability then probably case worker will easily consider that there is nothing that you tried to avoid tax even if the submission at late if you can represent in good way. If there is new tax liability then honestly it’s probably also could vary how the specific case worker will see it.
I think you can give a kind of summary like:
T1g to ILR 2016- earnings xxx- source: employment- all tax deducted from employment.
T1g extension 2013- earnings xxx- emp+com dividend- emp salary tax deducted from emp, divided from company, company corporation tax document provided.
T1g 2011 initial app- earnings xxx- emp+div-..........
It is something to give idea that all the earnings you claimed are taxed via HMRC. Personally I do not believe that case worker do not know much and work like computer (many of us think). Because when the handle hundreds of application they will become expert soon and will very much clear which document for what purpose. So rather than hiding anything probably it is always better to explain before they ask if there is anything obvious we think that they will see this.
Sometimes we also see the legal ground to fight that case worker must need to do this that but the problem is this legal grounds may be work where a third party will hear this and case worker probably work on their guideline, instruction and there on judgement, so it is better for us to try and represent in a way that could convince them and make them feel we are happy to help with the info that he/she require to make a decision.
About postal vs PEO tough to say which one to choose but I still believe postal little safe than PEO (unless someone threaten you for PEO). Somehow the trend changed now and no one want to wait, and we want instant outcome.
Update us when you get Approval. Good luck…
