I think you are right... statement doesnt say about ILR or settlement.....have you done any research?
Indefinite Leave to remain is also called Leave to Remain.

Nothing sure at the moment.

Wait and see.

Well i think that ILR and Leave to remain are two different things...let see if there are any news......

I am in the same boat and will be applying for ILR. I have discussed it with a barrister and he said rules will apply to all ILR applications as well.

Everybody including me are worried about the impact of the new rules for self employment earning but if we analyse it ..those were there anyways ..
They used to check clients in case of doubt ( checking the trueness of the income )
We should pay the tax on the claimed income , I am sure everybody must be doing that ..( they will look for the proof which will be easy to supply )
Test any accreditation and insurance required for business( which was one of the required for initial tier 1 application ) .

I think they are basically returning to the set of requirements and rules which was there for tier 1 in 2010..

We don't need to worry .If we have genuine earnings with proper documentation then all will be ok.

Dose not matter that it's Limited leave to remain or Indefinite Leave to remain application.

Let the time come .

I think the difference would be that previously the applicant was suppose to show the activity for last 12 months now they will check all the records of tax paid and incomes claimed since applicant is on tier 1 general.. that is what i could understand. If you read the guidance they asked you to provide 12 months of statements n incomes, Now they may ask you for previous if you have not paid taxes etc.

@macy .. Yeah they might ask for the tax documents for the income claimed in the previous application .. But they are only concerned about the recent 12 months income just before the application which is clear in the guidance ... So I think they will not ask for previous statements or income but surely they can ask for the tax documents to check whether the tax is paid for the previous claimed income ..

Changes also apply on ILR.

ILR stands for (Indefinite LEAVE TO REMAIN!)

As I mentioned before that the new rules will be applicable on ILR applications. Especially Self Employed or Own Limited Company Directer earnings( salary or Dividends).

They want case workers to have as much discretion as possible while making decisions on applications. They are trying to gear up (not there yet) the process in similar way as visit visa, where one can be refused solely on the basis of "balance of probability" and we all know which side this balance settles....they have wielded more powers whilst increasing the scope of scrutiny:

Key things for self-employed -

(1) Be prepared to be asked about anything regarding your earnings and associated matters.

(2) If you have ever "revised" your tax return in the past, make sure it doesn't cause you any issue. Although you will be granted points based on last 12 month earnings BUT your earnings from previous years may become subject of scrutiny and cause "balance of probability" out of your hand...

(3) Your claims on application should reflect consistent & realistic view of your financial affairs.

yes i think they will try to see the consistency in the business activities and tax activities for past years even if they will award points for the 12 months claimed period. They can ask for anything now they want...
Lets be prepared ,,

it would be really helpful if members post their experiences with their applications in self employment and limited company structure.
