Payslip - Per Diem

[vittuk]

Hello Everyone,

This forum is being really helpful to UK visa aspirants. Great job everyone.

I have a quick question regarding per diem,

Apart from regular salary, I get per diem every month from my company which is not taxable. Since this per diem is given by the company for the expenses in connection with work and is not taxable, I am not including this amount to claim points for previous earnings. They do appear in my bank statement along with the regular earnings with similar name 'company name-deposit pay date'. In order to avoid confusion, I would be sending the per diem statements and mention in the cover letter stating them as additional evidence.

As they are online per diem statements, do I have to get them signed & stamped by my employer or can I send them as it is (as they are not part of earnings for which I am claiming points for)?

Thanks in advance.

I had done the same in March 2009, but got rejected. Home office rejected my perdiem statements saying it is not earned in UK as salary

In what country is this per diem allowance being paid?

As long as you are not using the per diem earnings to calculate points you are ok.

I had showed more money in payslips and bank (reimbursements, non fixed allowances etc) than I claimed as earnings and did not get questioned.

Therefore cannot be included in salary! It is not money that you earn as *income* but an allowance for *expense* incurred (or that will be incurred at a later date) for doing company work e.g. - travel, subsitance etc.

As its not taxable u cannot claim points on it

As its not taxable u cannot claim points on it

Wrong. Non taxable component(s) of salary can be included in earnings to claim points.

Non taxable component(s) of salary can be included in earnings to claim points.

Apart from expenses re-imbursed (which cannot be claimed), isn't everything else taxed? (bonuses, overtime etc.)

Hi,

Mine case is like I have recieved onsite allowance but it is not a part of the payslip. However, my employer has deducted tax at source and this would be part of the tax certificate that I will recieve from my employer.

Can I claim this amount of allowance in my income?

Thanks in advance.
