I am on the same route and will be applying for my ILR next month. I will be answering the question with a "yes". I will just provide clarification in my cover letter that I have answered "yes" to the question as I am the director of the company and I withdraw a salary.joanna123 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 3:18 pmHello all
I hope someone can clarify this question for me.
I am due to apply for ILR under 5 year tier 1 entrepreneur category but i am confused about how to answer question 5.3 under Your Home and Finances.
The question asks "Are you working in the UK?". I am a director of my own company so should i answer yes or no here.
Also, it further asks 'If so, what is your pay each month after income tax and other deductions". As i run my own business, i pay myself very minimal monthly salary and other income is based on dividends depending on how well the business is doing and this is not on a monthly basis. I am therefore confused how to answer this question and provide evidence of my ability to sustain myself.
I will be grateful for suggestion from others in the same situation who have completed their own applications.
Thank you.
You appear to to be the second person in this forum who was refused on this basis.joanna123 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:48 amHello all
I wanted to see if there is any more information on the issue of sending corporation tax letter and business bank statement.
I sent in my application in early March and have received a refusal because I did not send in the corporation tax letter and business bank statement. Like many others it was my understanding at the time that these were not a requirement for ilr application. I want to make an admin review now but not sure what to base it on as it appears to be in the rules now.
Does anyone know if this rule was recently changed and if so when?
Has anyone recently got approved without this documents or got a rejection?
I would really appreciate any quick response as I only have 3 more days to complete admin review.
Thanks so much in advance.
A friend of mine who submitted the online form said that in the checklist, there was no mention of sending business bank statements or corporation tax documents.entruk wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:13 pmI think the point in AR would be that there are discrepancies in SeT (O) form and guidance. Form ask one thing and guidance demands other. In the presence of Question A2 this refusal reason is not valid. Why applicant would submit extra docs or refer to guidance when something is very clear in the Form.
I believe the guidance updated quite recently and those changes are still not reflecting in the Forms.
These discrepancies happen whenever changes are made.entruk wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:13 pmI think the point in AR would be that there are discrepancies in SeT (O) form and guidance.

These discrepancies happen whenever changes are made.
In most cases, HO will look upon it favourably in the AR and decide in favour of the applicant.
Having said that, it would be difficult to demand that just because the form does not include a check box for that document, you don't need to submit it.
There are no check boxes for any genuineness related documents but almost all applicants submit a set of documents after reading the guidance.
The requirements are the same, but the online form comes with a checklist that is relevant to tier 1 entrepreneur, whereas on the paper form, you complete the list yourself.
hey i just wanted to add clarification if that might help argue the case etc: i have applied 2 weeks ago fir ILR and in filled in online form. in the checklist, there WAS a demand to submit corporation tax document. i cant remember about bank statements though as a specific doc on checklist.sm12 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 6:08 pmA friend of mine who submitted the online form said that in the checklist, there was no mention of sending business bank statements or corporation tax documents.entruk wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:13 pmI think the point in AR would be that there are discrepancies in SeT (O) form and guidance.

Where did you find an updated guidance document ?entruk wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 11:55 pmIts the form itself which asks to submit just the CH report to prove the engagement and nothing else.
Also, I think they have just modified the guidance again in last one week or so (may be after reading this thread) to include the highlighted part. I didn't find this in proposed amendment. You do not need to provide evidence of (i) if you were awarded points for this in your last successful Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) application. You must still evidence of (ii).
