previous earning amount

[bajaj06]

Can somebody please help me....

I am going to apply for Tier-1 visa and I am confused about how much should I write as my previous year earning.....actually my salary slips shows 2 amounts for my previous year earning...one is my gross earning and other one is taxable pay....gross earning is more than my taxable pay.....probably my pension contribution is not included in taxable pay....

Now shall i write gross pay as my previous year earning or taxable pay....I am sure other people might have gone through the same process...could any one kindly guide...

Many thanks,

Hello,

I'm planning to apply for Tier 1 Visa in Sept 08.
Reg: the Previous earnings, I understand that You can show any 12 months in the 15 month period before makin the application.
I wish to show the payslips this way:
August 2007
September 2007
October 2007
November 2007
December 2007
February 2008
March 2008
April 2008
May 2008
June 2008
July 2008
August 2008
Now, is this a problem?? as, January is omitted out.This is beacuse I changed company in January mid and took vacation for last 2 weeks of Jan, so the Pay I received in the month of JANUARY is way too less.

Pls advice if this is a correct way or not???

Regards,
SS

Not any 12 months, it should be consecutive 12 months. Please read the guidance notes carefully. It is also ok to have a small break in employment. Please show the salary of Jan, however small that may be.

Hi,

Unfortunately it has to be consecutive 12 months in the recent last 15 months period so you have to show January payslip. I hope you will be able to get the required score by including january payslip.

1. As long as it shows on your payslips, it should be fine.

2. First determine whether you can use tax documents as evidence of previous income in your case. For this you'll need to read the policy guidance carefully.

3. First things first, read the policy guidance carefully. Then learn to use the search tool available on this forum. Answers to your questions (posted here and elsewhere) are already available on the forum, so have the coutesy to search for them.

Hi,
Please clarify the following two queries.

The PBS guide says "Applicants should use the closing spot exchange rate which appears on Oanda for the last day of the period for which
they have claimed earnings in that currency".
Q1. "Last day of the period" refers to last day of each earning month or last day of whole 12 month period?

The PBS guide says "Points for Previous Earnings can be claimed in respect of any single, consecutive 12 month period from the 15 months
immediately prior to the date of application".
Q2. For example, If I am making the application in June-08, does it mean that I can include any consecutive 12-months from
March-2007 to May-2008 which is 15 months immediately prior to the date of aplications.

Thanks

I am planning to apply for Tier 1 skill migration. I am working in XXX company in India. I was in US for 1 year (client side) and I was paid $xxxx amount per month as per-diem (allowance). This was not taxable. I have bank statements and a pay slip for this. Same time I was paid in India as well. (which is taxable) For my Indian salary I have salary slips, tax documents and bank statements. I can get 80 pints with US income. Is there any problem if I apply with US income and Indian salary as my past earnings?

No, there is no problem but remember that for any earnings credited to you in India while you were working in US, you will not be able to apply uplift factor (if you don't know what uplift factor is, then read the Tier 1 guidance first). Secondly your earnings will be calculated against the US income band and not India income Band.

If you haven't understood what I am saying, then please read the Tier 1 guidance carefully.

Yes, I can understand what you said. BUT why you say that we can't apply uplift factor for Indian salary? I went through the new policy guide carefully. They didnt mention anything like that. Just look at this:

115. The country in which the applicant has been
working, rather than his/her nationality, determines
the income bands against which we will assess the
earnings.

116. Where an applicant has earnings from more than
one country, the points-based calculator will apply the
appropriate uplift ratio for each country in which the
relevant earnings were made in order to provide a total
UK equivalent value of earnings

So I think I have earnings from more than one country. I can enter both US and India earnins separately using this new calculator. What's your idea?

[geriatrix]

My *idea* remains the same. Search the forum for related information on uplift factor and you'll understand what I am saying.

Also, use self-assessment tool to double-check your assumptions. Select country of earnings as US, and try putting salary in INR for the time you were physically present and working in the US. Determine for yourself if the self-assessment tool applies uplift factor to your Indian salary (salary credited to your Indian bank account in India) or not.
