If you draw salary from your LTD company, you would pay Employment National Insurance - Class 1.

If you draw income as dividend then you dont pay NI WHAT SO EVER , only co-op tax and tax on the dividend.

You would only pay Class 2 NI or Class 4 NI , if you have declared your self as sole trader.

11. BRP received on: still awaiting

I was arrived at 9am...no one checks any appointment time and security let me go through...airport style security was cleared in 5 minutes and then advised to go straight...on ground floor staff behind window checks my form and passport along with appointment letter and issued me a token number. . .quite smooth process which was completed in 2 minutes. . .then i was sent to 1st floor where payment was taken with Debit card...and i received a payment receipt in 2 minutes....Again quite smooth transaction ...

After payment i went to main waiting hall where there are 28 counters...counter 6-21 was allocated only for enrolments(data entry) and counters 23-28 was allocated for caseworkers...with in 5 minutes my number was called and staff behind counter checked my form and entered my details and scanned my photograph...then she told me to wait in the same hall for call on counter 1-5 for bio matrics...

After wait of 1 hour (as there were only 2 counters open in this section at that time) my bio matrices has been taken...then i was advised to wait in the same area to be called for a caseworker...time on clock was 10:00am...

waiting..waiting ..waiting around 1400 one of the supervisors made announcement that there are delays of 4 hours in process applications...(CLEARLY ONLY 7 CASEWORKERS WERE PROCESSING AND AS FOR AS I RECALL LAST TICKET NUMBER WHICH WAS REGISTERED FOR THE DAY WAS 179) so i don't really knew whether everyone's application was processed on time...

but as my appointment was early hence at 15:00 i was called for a casework...

I gave all of my copies and original docs to a caseworker who was very nice and polite. i was seated in front of him while he was process... while processing he asked me several questions regarding my application...e.g. salary, self employment...accountant and taxes and several others...

at 16:20 he gave me a good news and told me that he has approved my application and asked me check details for BRP...he then handed over all my original docs along with approval letter and gave me a departing comment ( best of luck )

case worker was very nice and knowledgeable...

16:30 i left lunar house...
