Rules on acceptable application forms apparently change on 1 Feb - suggest check them out, especially if not applying until end of month.elf18 wrote:I am an EU migrant who has been in the UK over 5 years and fulfill the requirements for Permanent Residence. I am completing form EEA3 (on the advice of the FreeMovement blog e-book that says you can use the shorter form) not EEA(PR).
I have a question about my employment record and how to submit this as both the Home Office and HMRC have given me conflicting advice.

It is also not clear whether this is classed as Employment or Self Employment since I was technically both a Director and an employee of the company and HMRC/Home Office have given me conflicting advice on what to put down here.
Nothing will happen for say 2 years as Article 50 has not yet been triggered.elf18 wrote:I did not have CSI as I was employed (by my own company) and Director and had savings etc.
I can provide a tax return to show the year in question that I earned over £40,000 and paid tax of over £5,000.
I suppose I can wait another few months until I have done a full 5 years as an employee at the company I currently work for but I want to get the process done ASAP because of the uncertainty of Brexit.
My fear is that they will say something like only those who had the requisite 5 years as a qualified person before article 50 was triggered will be allowed to stay with no caveats and I have been here 10 years but I worked as a contractor for a long time, worked through an umbrella company etc, had months in those 10 years when I was in between jobs for a few months but never earning less than £40k per year.noajthan wrote:Nothing will happen for say 2 years as Article 50 has not yet been triggered.elf18 wrote:I did not have CSI as I was employed (by my own company) and Director and had savings etc.

Its EU law that applies not the whims of random politicians.elf18 wrote:My fear is that they will say something like only those who had the requisite 5 years as a qualified person before article 50 was triggered will be allowed to stay with no caveats and I have been here 10 years but I worked as a contractor for a long time, worked through an umbrella company etc, had months in those 10 years when I was in between jobs for a few months but never earning less than £40k per year.

If you reapply can you use a different 5 year period with different status such as self sufficient or different employers or do you have to use the same one each time?
The problem I have now is finding out whether working through a Ltd Company and paying myself a low salary + dividends (and submitting a tax return which shows I earned more than £40k and paid tax) will be classed as employment. I was a Director and employee but the bulk of my income came via dividends not PAYE.Casa wrote:Bear in mind that you would need to have held CSI for any period of self-sufficiency.

I had two jobs in the tax year 2012-2013, one of which was as Director/Employee at my own Ltd Company. In this one I paid below the PET for NI for 10 months, my salary was in the region of £5600k and then I took dividends.noajthan wrote:Show work was genuine and effective.elf18 wrote:The problem I have now is finding out whether working through a Ltd Company and paying myself a low salary + dividends (and submitting a tax return which shows I earned more than £40k and paid tax) will be classed as employment.
