XJ2011 wrote:Hi I will apply PR next month, start to prepare for all the doc needed.
I was on work permit for 2 years from Dec 2006- Aug 2008 for this period of time, I have P45 for year 2008 which I left this company, but I cant find P60 . From reading the posts on this website, is it correct to say, if I have a HR letter from my previous employer to say how much I earned for that period of time, will be enough? I have the WP approve letter, I dont know if that is enough?
Do I need HMRC to give me a letter? How long it usually take?
For Tier1 I have the P60s.
Thanks in advance for advice!

I also have original work permit approval letter saying I should earn £26,000 per year.
Now here is my problem. My 06/07 salary shows less than £26000, because I didnt work the full FY, but it shows more than I should earn for 4 months, from Dec 06 to March 07, because I started working for the company before I get the visa stamp.
Will the casework ask this and how should I explain it?
Any advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks
But will not the casework be curious that under this employer, I am supposed get 4 month salary, but the figures shows on HR letter, that the amount I earned is more than doubled what is reasonable, about 8 months salary? I may be overconcerned but just in case...sushdmehta wrote:Is there an issue?
1. WP authorisation states "annual" salary of the sponsored migrant.
2. P60 reflects income and tax in a given "tax year".
So unless the migrant started working in the UK from the first day of the tax year, the figures on WP and P60 can never match!

I was on student visa before I got the work permit/visa, can I say I was working under student visa ?

This "letter from employer" you have does not state the facts, so you should not use it!sushdmehta wrote:P60 reflects income earned and tax paid in a given "tax year".

I inferred "get paid in FY" differently from "was paid in FY", hence the response. If that is not the case, ignore the earlier response.I lost my P60 and asked my previous employer HR issued a letter, on the letter, it has the total amount I get paid in Financial year 06/07, tax paid, tax code, as a substitute of P60.
1. Why does your salary show more than what you should have earned in 4 months?Now here is my problem. My 06/07 salary shows less than £26000, because I didnt work the full FY, but it shows more than I should earn for 4 months, from Dec 06 to March 07, because I started working for the company before I get the visa stamp.
I was on student visa and finished the courses already, I got the work permit letter in August so I started working from August... so thats why the total paid I got more than I should for 4 monthssushdmehta wrote:I inferred "get paid in FY" differently from "was paid in FY", hence the response.

2. You say you started working for the company before the leave was issued. Explain how and why?
I lost the payslips also, but I can ask the previous employer HR write a letter to say how much I earned for each of these 4 months.sushdmehta wrote:Do you have payslips for the period Dec '06 - Mar '07 that accurately reflect your salary in those 4 months?
Hi Sushdmehta, thanks for your reply again.sushdmehta wrote:I am yet to understand where the issue is that you seem to be so worried about!
The P60 in question (that you no longer possess) in all likelihood accurately reflected the income and tax for the relevant FY. An alternate document from HMRC for the same year should be sufficient.
Though there is no need to, but at best, you may need to explain that you worked for the organisation after you had completed your education .. as is allowed under immigration rules ... and that the P60 figures (or the figures in the document you receive from HMRC) include income earned and tax paid during such (student) period.
Alternatively, the payslips for the 4 months in question should be fine. And if you don't have them (which is still unclear) then a letter from employer then may work.
