ILR queries

[singhmohit]

Hi All,

Ive just got this year's P60 from my new employer. However the sum of my pay slips from 25-Apr-2011 to 25-Mar-2012 does not add up to the "total for year" on the P60.
I'd imagine if that doesnt match may be 25-May-2011 to 25-Apr-12 would; but that doesnt match up either.

I'm trying the total of Gross Salary from pay slips to telly against the "Total for Year" from P60. If these dont match, is that a big problem???

Note: Ive changed my employer in Sept-12... I dont know if that makes any difference.

The P60 will reflect your total taxable pay for the financial year. When you say you are summing the Gross Salary from pay slips, you should make sure that it's the Taxable Pay you total up to do this verification. Taxable Pay & Gross Pay will be indicated seperately in your payslip. These two figures may be different if you receive non-taxable benefits such as Health Insurance, Pension Contributions etc...

Note: Ive changed my employer in Sept-12... I dont know if that makes any difference.

No, this should not make a difference.

Possibly if you are making pension contributions by way of salary surrender, for tax purposes these payments are excluded. Thus whereas you payslip shows the gross before tax inclusive of the salary surrender, your P60 will only show gross after salary surrender.

I'd have known better only if iI had'nt slept through my accounting classes

Thanks jon892, but it kinda went over my head

[joh892]

literally?

[singhmohit]

literally?

Sorry, just read it again slooooooooooooooowly...
I'll look properly about sal surrender and pension and try "=sum(A:A)" again on the excel sheet.

The thing is i dont even know if I use any of that... Well I do know I have some pension thing going about in my payslip, but I've never looked at it properly...Gosh! what lenghts one has to go for getting an ILR!!!

[joh892]

Ah, if you have pension then that could be it! Just check carefully plus use that "=Sum(A:A)" thing! No idea what it is but I can give it a good guess. And yea ILR requires lots of dedication and time all for the sake of staying in this country... Well...and I am here too

Perfect guys,
Excluded the pension thing and dig a little deeper... all matched...
Right up to £0.01..

Thanks Joh and cs95tdg

Sum(A:A) is a formula in excel to calcualte the sum of everything in column 'A'.
You see I'm a geek who doesnt know we need to deduct pension from gross before Tax.....

[joh892]

Brilliant... there was something for everyone to learn. But great that all sorted and understood now. All the best with your application. Going to see them UKBA next week wed.

[singhmohit]

Yeah mate thanks.
You too, good luck with them, these lot are a tough ones...

Hi all,

Probably answer is obvious; but I'd still ask...

I once forgot my national rail card home while going to work (woolwich to cannon st). officer at cannon st gave me a fine but also said "its just a warning". A week later a letter in the post turned up which said i need to pay £20 now to stop any further action. I was like "**** this" and logged online and paid £20.

But... I have no records to prove that Ive paid it, no email confirmation etc (cant remember I took a screenshot of the payment made screen either). National rail have not sent me anything else but I'm still concerned if there is something on their records...

Should I do a CRB check to find out if there is anything?
Leading questions...
How much does a CRB check cost?
How long does it take?

Thanks in anticipation...

Searching for information already available helps.

[singhmohit]

super...
seems i don't need to be worried about it..
however, I have no proof that I paid the fine (like I said, not even a screenshot of the website) which I can take to my appointment.
In such scenario do people advice that I do a CRB and take the result with me?

[geriatrix]

Understand and appreciate the difference between "unspent criminal conviction" and a "penalty / fine" (a civil penalty in your case).

Its more likely you paid a penalty fare (£20)which is distinct from a fine. Fines start from £80. It doesn't hurt to check though

[singhmohit]

cheers mate,
thanks for clarifying, clearly im using the wrong lingo here.
must have been a penalty fare and I guess you are right about fine, the £80 pound mark…

I’ll google about getting a CRB…
Thanks again…
