Can student Tier 4 hold shares/receive dividends/rental inc?

[mariamuk]

Hi all,

I wonder can someone on Tier 4 without right to work sell/buy shares (no as employment, but time to time through own bank system) or receive dividends from unquoted or listed companies?

I don't consider this as the employment, so I just guess that even if you don't have permission to work and study full time, you still can hold shares and receive dividends or receive rental income (UK& overseas) as long as you pay tax on the all income received.

Would be great to hear the opinions.

Thank you

It's fine. Don't confuse the concept of income with the concept of employment; they are not the same.
