I hope I am worrying unnecessarily but I often read of tax amendments causing a problem with ILR applications.
We submit our tax returns by June every year using the paper form as we were non resident for many years. This year, when my husband called in October as he had heard nothing about his tax return, he was told that there was no record of his return in the system ( my own which was sent on the same date at the same time was recorded) Luckily we had receipts of postage and delivery but, to be on the safe side and as the deadline was fast approaching, we redid the return. There were of course no changes to the compilations.
I had a very emotional phone call with HMRC experessing my distress at the fact that my husbands tax return was supposedly lost. Two days later we received our letters indicating that we owed nothing, which we knew to be true.
Now two months later my husband has received another letter thanking him for his amendment to his tax return and, again, stating no payment is due.
The word 'amendment' worries me as it looks like he changed the content of the return rather than the fact that he resent it because the first return had not been recorded and could not be traced.
When we apply for ILR should we explain this or are we OK? There is enough to worry about, without this! Sorry for the long lost!
