Posted abroad while working for UK co. Overseas earnings?

[jiggyjunk]

Hi All,

I have a quick question. I worked outside the UK for three months when I was posted by my firm. I was still drawing the salary to a UK bank account. Can I count the earnings during the three months as overseas earnings, or are they considered as UK earnings? I am currently on a Tier 2 visa, but want to switch to Tier 1.

Thanks a lot.

Are these earnings (worked outside) paid by your UK Firm? Do they give you proper PAYSLIPS supporting these earnings and NET salary matching in your bank account;

if YES, you can use them without problem..

Thanks Ramesh. Yes they are paid by the UK firm and they give proper payslips. So will I be able to use the multiplier for the foreign country in this case, since I was physically working abroad? Or will it be considered as UK income. PS. If I use the multiplier then I qualify without problems for Tier 1, if I dont then I am 5 points shy of 75

If you are paid in GBP and by your UK Firm and in UK and claiming UK exp points you can not use the multiplier..
