ILR approved through Tier1 Entrepreneur 50K Self-Employed

[MAH20]

Dear All

I am applying for ILR on 5 year basis this month.I am a self-employed under 50K route.

My question is based on Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) of the Points Based System–Policy Guidance v 10/2019, page 29:

"(e) If you were self employed at the time a settled worker was employed by your business, you must provide evidence of your registration with HM Revenue and Customs showing your business was based in the UK and a personal bank statement showing all the payments made to the settled worker in the full period of employment used to claim points."

My first question is, "a personal bank statement showing all the payments made to the settled worker in the full period of employment" means I have to provide all my business bank account statements showing my payments to my employees?
I have a business bank account for my business.

2nd question: I have paid all the payments to my employees through my business bank account except 2 months that he asked to get cash. Is it a problem?

Many thanks for your advise.

Are you a company director or registered as self employed ??! Remember working for your own company as a director is NOT self employment. Self employed have to be specifically registered with HMRC. If you actually registered as self employed and you are NOT a company director, then you must send 'personal or business' bank statements to show you made these payments including cash withdrawals

[MAH20]

Many thanks Zimba for your answer,

I'm a self employed and registered with HMRC since 2014.

I've made all the payments to my employees by my business bank account except the last two payments to one employee (Ha has been working for 13 months and He is no longer works for me)

There are no cash withdrawals in my business or personal bank statements for this matter, I paid his 2 last salary with cash that I had in my hand.

So, based on your explanation, should I go to my bank branch and ask for cash (exactly equal to the amount of 2 wages)?

Is this the only way?

Not to mention that, He already emailed me that he received all his wages while he was working for me.

Really appreciate if you could advice me.

[MAH20]

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Cash in hand is fine as long as correct taxes are paid. You may have to explain this in a covering letter

Thanks a lot,

Can I ask you one more question, Regarding to NI 2 contribution. I am under £6,365 so I don't need to pay NI2. It's written on my TAX Return. Is that enough to submit TAX return to show I'm exempt?

CF10 Form is no longer available.

[zimba]

Where in the requirement you should submit tax returns ?

[MAH20]

Where in the requirement you should submit tax returns ?

Ok there is no such requirement to submit Tax return but how can I show I am exempt to pay NI2?

A few member already got ILR refusal based on not submitting evidence for NI2
