So I spoke with Revenue Scotland today and they said its not criminal or civil penalty, its just tax penalty for late registration, it was paid on time so that matter is closed. There is no court involved in that neither any sort of fiscal fines, cauthion, warning etc.contorted_svy wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 12:50 pmIt was paid, and it wasn't your fault. If it was issued in your name you can declare it and explain in a cover note. What kind of penalty was it exactly? You need to declare Fixed Penalty Notices and County Court Judgements, I am not sure if this falls under something that needs to be declared for naturalisation, but you can do if in doubt.
You're right, I was on the verge of declaring it for the ILR application, but couldn't place it within conviction and out of court penalties. But reading the AN guidence, I feel that I should say No to convictions but then explain briefly in form of letter and attach penalty along Solicitor's email and transaction reference they provided me, saying its all being settled on their behalf.alterhase58 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 1:05 pmCivil penalties can be given for all kind as issues - as explained already they are not criminal offences, not even for late tax penalties. They are a fact of life, just like paying too little or too much tax at times. If you are evading tax that's a criminal offence and you are likely facing court procedures. I do understand applicants are very nervous bearing in mind the fees but it's easy to overthink.
Should not need to declare it then.standrews wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 4:11 pmSo I spoke with Revenue Scotland today and they said its not criminal or civil penalty, its just tax penalty for late registration, it was paid on time so that matter is closed.
