new format of financial statements from this year

Post by happyguy » Wed May 23, 2018 1:04 pm

Dear moderators
According to my accountant for small companies from this year the contents of financial statements will change and will include
income statement
balance sheet
Chartered certified accountants report (compilation report)
trading profit and loss account
Detailed balance sheet.

So my accountant says from this year contents of financial statement will not have
company information
report of the director
notes to the financial statement.
I am showing my investment in the form of share capital , as it is shown in the previous years accounts, so if from this year notes to the financial statement is not included in the unaudited accounts ,then how to show the evidence of investment by way of share capital.

Your accountant is probably talking about minimum requirements. I can't imagine the regulators saying some information should not be there, so he/she should be able to add that still.

Dear Marcnath
He is saying for share capital he will provide a letter on letterheaded paper to include the necessary information of called up share capital , which is required for extension, that is the information related to the share capital on the notes to the financial statements . Will that serve the purpose.
thanks in advance.

No, the requirement is very specific.
I can't see why he can't add notes to the accounts. But if for some crazy reason, the law or something else makes it absolutely impossible to do that, his letter should also explain that with a quote of the relevant regulations that prevent him from providing that info somewhere in the accounts (it does not have to be in the notes, it can even be directly in the balance sheet)

I can't see how she can do that. She can apply for a new dependant visa once your visa is granted. But it will reset the 5 year continuous period as she will be without a valid visa for some time - between expiry of her visa and the grant of the new dependant visa. That will effectively reset the ILR clock for your kids too.

NHS Medical exemption certificate/card

Post by happyguy » Tue Jun 12, 2018 8:31 am

Dear moderators
I am diabetic so NHS has given form to fill up for medical exemption certificate in 2016 and I received that card after a month. So now I receive diabetic medicines and blood pressure medication free of charge. Is this some type of benefit and will this affect extension and ILR in future.
thanks in advance.

No, it got nothing to do with your visa but you ain't using public funds.
I'm pre-diabetic but I controlled my diet and doing Hiit for weight loss. I'm also referred by nhs to attend an anti diabetic course which helped me a lot. So far lost 10kg.
Hope you will be fine soon.
Most nhs treatments are free.
Check these links, hope they will help you.

Dear moderators
The rule change in January 18 for dependents ,is that they should be in the uk for 6 months in a rolling period.Is this rule applies in the previous leave. For example my wife received dependent visa from april 16 to 6 nov 2018. So does this rule applies to her after extension . Marcnath has replied saying yes only in the previous post but I want clarify it again.

This has been replied by me and CR001 - the new rule ONLY APPLIES to visas/extensions issued after 11 Jan 2018.

Not sure why you keep asking the same question - what is it that you are concerned about ?

Dear Marcnath
My concern is as you said new rule applies to visa /extensions issued after January 11 2018, but my wife has received her dependent visa on april 16 2016 till 6 Nov 2018 which is before january 11 2018.So if her visa was issued before january 11 2018 , does she needs tobe in the uk 180 days per 12 months period.

Hi Marcnath
somewhere on the forum it is mentioned you are allowed to stay out of the uk ,maximum 450 days in the whole 5 year period. I did understand 180 days for any 12 months but wanted to know for whole period of 5 years , that means till ILR ,the maximum days permitted.
450 days is relevant to British citizenship requirements.
Hi, CR001, please can you explain more on the 450 days you mentioned?

Another question: as I checked in "Indefinite leave to remain: calculating continuous period in UK" (link: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... .0-EXT.pdf), I see that there is 180 days of allowable absence in any 12 months period and T1 (Entrepreneur) category is not required to provide reasons for absence. Are their dependents count as in the same category and have no need to provide reasons for absence?

Thank you in advance.
