I too feel the date and amount you have received in your bank account counts. For example, if you are applying on January 15, and you have not yet received January salary into your Bank account, I don't think HO will accept if you claim pro-rata salary from Jan 1 - Jan 15. Applying the same logic, you have received April salary on 30 April, so this will be calculated as earnings in this Tax year including the amount you have earned from Apr 1 -5.shockboy2000 wrote:Another thing to think about is: my umbrella company (employer) spoke to their accountant, and the accountant said the money is 'earnt' when it is paid into my bank account. Therefore if April was my first payslip, but i wasnt paid until May - then May would be the first period i earnt money(which is well into CY). They were suggesting i put say 12May - 12December as dates on my HSMP form (the dates the money reached my account), because they think HMRC sees the money earnt when you receive it, not when you actually did the work.
Yes, WebHunter, I agree with your view.webhunter wrote: All the cases where I have seen references to ITR, were those where part of the claimed period falls into a previous(valid) tax year. In which case, I think it makes sense for them to see the previous ITR.

Since this appears to be a confusing issue, other experts in this forum may please share their views.

I also heard from someone that if you are working already and want to go for HSMP extension and for some reason if you dont qualify or not successful then if you employer is willing to sponsor then you can switch over to work permit and the paperwork on part of employer is not much i.e. they need not prove all those that is required for a fresh work permit to a fresh employee that they take in it seems. i.e. need not prove that they did not get such an employee with such skillset within UK even after advertising for xyz amount of days.
IS THIS TRUE?
pls help,

This is true even if you switch from 1 WP to another. There is no privilege for switching from HSMP to WP.drake wrote:Guys,

I heard that the ILR counter will not be reset if you switch from one employer to another i.e. workpermit change of employee...
Is it?
cheers,

whereas it is correct that 'this doesnt make sense', it is true that your counter gets reset if you change from HSMP to WP.shockboy2000 wrote:it doesnt make sense, but i agree that is what the current situation is.
They say the reason you can "downgrade" to WP it because they acknowledge you have skills to benefit the country...so if someone who has been on WP all the time can get ILR...why cant someone who went HSMP->WP with no break.
honestly, all us "highly skilled" people must have enough money between us to buy an island somewhere...i say we go and buy it and live there and forget about this UK nonsense
