My wife is applying for her British citizenship via NCS, on the basis of marriage to me (a (naturalized) British citizen).
Of course she also qualifies on the other mandatory bits like residence requirements, etc. i.e. had ILR for 6 years now, and not been away from UK etc.
Anyway, I have one question though (on section 3.1 3.5 Tax office reference details):
She used to be working (on a Work permit) ages ago (before marriage) but she quit her job before our marriage (more than 8 years back) after going back to India.
When she was working here (for about 4+ years) she has paid tax, NI etc, and also has the tax reference number from that period. She went away from UK to back home and after our marriage she entered UK on spouse visa, and then on to ILR until now.
For all the time (ever since she entered uk on spouse visa) she is just housewife and that is what she is filling in as - i.e. Housewife.
Since she is only to give information about the past 3 years, and her tax details and work aspects pertain to before that period, should she still put her old UK tax reference, tax office details etc. on that form (section 3.1 - 3.5?) or is it not required?
She has anyway indicated her NI number and also put a note in the page/section 13 that she got this NI number before marriage while on work permit ages ago.
So similarly, should she also do the same thing for the past employment tax reference numbers or just leave that blank since she has nothing to do with her past employment?
... or maybe she can add an entry in the page/section 13 area) explaining the above.
Some advised us that more and non-required info is not to be given, but we are thinking why not put a note in section/page 13 since it is only a good thing - considering she has paid a lot of tax and NI during those years

I am curious to see what expert members have to say or those in similar circumstances have done who have got their application submitted.
Thanks.
