Late Filing of Self Assessment Penalty on ILR

[gdrmvrm]

Hello,

I just received a penalty of £100 for late filing of my Self Assessment for tax year end 2019. I will be applying for ILR on Tier 2 General and my employment tax is already cut at source via PAYE. The reason for filing self assessment was that I declared money earned on foreign dividends and capital gains I incurred while selling shares outside of the UK and brought that money into the UK.

I have the following questions wrt to the above situation:
1. How much of an issue will the late penalty be on a positive outcome of my ILR? (tax returns have now been filed and all I had to pay HMRC for tax year end 2019 was £1.20.
2. The penalty is now paid.
3. I was planning on highlighting the penalty in my cover letter but does this count as a civil penalty? Do I have to declare this on my application as well?

Your comments will be much appreciated.

Regards,
Gaya

No issue. No need to declare. You do not have a charge or criminal conviction i.e. recorded on your criminal record. This will not impact your ILR.
