10 year ILR (Student+Tier1) - my queries

@jibri So do you think is it better to declare default? because in the form it is asking about CCj, offence and crime, Civil penalty. Not sure if Default is offence.

Hi all In Jan 2015 I had received a summon, from court and had invitation for hearing which was for one of my missed payment, but I spoke to Financial Ombudsman and also to North hampton county Court and made a monthly arrangement plan to pay. And then My court invitation was cancelled. ( no ccj or anything registered, i have checked with trust online )


I was reading HMRC guidance notes, they have clearly mentioned to disclose all history about debt or anything which I feel is doubt.

1. My question is do I have to mention it that i was invited at first place and then it was cancelled or shall i just mention missed payment and provide proof of payment?


2. Because I had summon, does it means that judgement or Accusation is registered against me? or does the court have my name on their list of missed payment or on their record?

3. Or Do I have to mention in HO form that I was accused ?

Please advise

I think that default should not be mention on form, that's what I got impression from other posts, I will say that contact home office helpline and ask them. Share with us as well what they say, I hope some experts may shed more light on it.

Hi all I have done rework for tax and it comes around £2.5k which I need to pay to HMRC.

I was thinking to pay £1200 upfront and rest by installment.

I am going to apply for ILR in End of November on 10 years Basis.

Will it affect my ILR? IF HO makes a inquiry with HMRC because i am paying installment.

Is it legally allowed to pay in installment?

Should be a problem?

Was anyone under same situation?

You can try, but they'll add penalties and interest.

@wanderer, I think OP wants to know if HO will accept the arrangement if they do tax checks.

following up posts from those whose applications either refused or held for further checks one common thing I notice is the time when they were self employed and tax paid on income shown was less than required especially when they had their visa extended by showing higher incomes while tax paid on such income was relatively disproportionate

anyone who has such a back ground should settle their affairs with HMRC asap to avoid disappointment in relation to their visa applications.

if I were OP I would pay up all I owe to HMRC before I attended PEO appointment I would not risk it for few 100s

Hi all just wanted to ask you I am applying next month for ILR on 10 years basis.

1. Do I have to pay any or show any NHS surcharge?

2. Also any financial requirement? likw balance for 3 months or anything?

Please advice: As it is important to know. Thanks

1. No, health surcharge is NOT applicable for ILR applicants.

2. No. The links you have provided are NOT for ILR based on long residence.

[size=150][b]Hi All I have applied for ILR in Jan on 10 years basis, but they have kept it on hold.

I have done previous tax amendment for Tier1 general year 2012-2013 and paid remaining amount £2.5k in full last december 2015.

My Question was what rule applies to my application 10 years long residence? or Tier1 rule ( as i was on Tier1 general for 5 years, which makes total 10 years) or can they refuse on basis of Tax amendment basis as of Tier 1 ?

What happens if they refuse? do they give right to appeal?

Or because I have applied on 10 years basis they go by long residence rule?

Please advise[/size][/b]

Hi all my ILR has been refused on 10 years basis for Tax discrepancy.

I had made and amendment for 2012 -2013 and and paid everything. But they still refused it and gave chance to appeal. I had applied on 1 day service .

Please suggest what to do and how to prove?

All tax paid for 5 years on self employment and also amended tax paid as well.

I need to prove them that figures are correct and legally it is allowed.

SA302 doesn't get amended for 2012 -2013 but I have requested other payment proofs.

I need to prove them that figures are correct and legally it is allowed. Please help and advise.

Very Sorry to hear this.

1) Did u fill up the form at PEO and for question 9) where they ask if you are satisfied with your tax returns ?

Did u answer yes or no ? I suspect that you answer yes.

2) Have they given you right of appeal ?

When did you amend your tax return for the year in question - before or after applying for settlement?
Did you have confirmation from HMRC that your tax records have been amended and all taxes that were due have been paid?
Did you include this confirmation in your application (or send it across to HO while your application was being processed)?

Requested? or provided? If the latter, what were these?

It appears you claimed a loss soon after PBS extension!
Amending that would mean you acknowledge that you lied .. rather than it (tax discrepancy) being an innocent mistake!

Maybe that (lying) is sin no. 2 added to the sin no. 1 (tax evasion), hence the refusal despite your attempts to right the sin no 1?

So u declare less income on your self assessment ? or you claim a credit from HMRC for next year Loss's to reduce your tax bill ?
