If you are employed by someone, why are they not applying PAYE tax and NIC to those earnings?
Or if you are not employed by whoever pays you that money, are you self-employed? Is it one person/company paying you that money, or a number of different people who collectively pay you about £500 per month?
Just trying to work out the basis of why that money is paid to you?
Interesting.....Can you really do that legally ? I thought while you are on WP you can only be gainfully employed in the UK with the employer and in the job mentioned on the Work Permit.timefactor wrote:

If i can make this £500 as taxable income, i'm eligible for HSMP
Yes, I don't think you can do this legally. while you are on WP you can only be gainfully employed in the UK with the employer and in the job mentioned on the Work Permit.basis wrote:Interesting.....Can you really do that legally ?

So the work of this type cannot be done by timefactor. We are clearly talking about self-employment here. And if the person formed a company and worked through that instead, well that would amount to setting up a business, so that would not work either.The work permit holder is not allowed to enter self-employment, set up a business or join another business as a director or partner. If a work permit holder wishes to be self-employed or set up a business they will need to apply to the Home Office (Immigration and Nationality Directorate) for the appropriate permission to do so. Please note however that if this permission is granted this will invalidate any current work permit.

The income of about £500 is clearly taxable. That aspect needs to be dealt with ... legally!
As far as I can see the only provision of the work permit regulations that he has broken is that he was paid for his supplementary work as a self-employed contractor. He could always give the money back to the employer who he did the supplementary work for and ask that the employer pay it back to him as a PAYE employee less any PAYE taxes and national insurance contributions.IMHO The bigger question and hence violation of legal provisions is the work beyind remit of work permit. If you failed to show income in some year you can always add it afterwards by filing a revised return.

Besides this aspect of the supplementary employment, he has broken no other laws as supplementary work on a work permit is perfectly legal provided it falls within the provisions given!
