How UK taxation applies to Tier 1 (General) Visa Holders?

Post by rohitktm » Thu Jan 21, 2010 3:18 pm

I have small query regarding taxation system in UK. I used online tax calculate and it showed me following results.

Annual Gross pay - £25,000.00
Income tax - £3,793.0
National Insurance - £2,149.40
Net pay - £19,057.60

My questions are:

1. If the employee is in Tier 1 (General) visa, does he/she is liable to pay National Insurance. As I have understood, national insurance pay goes to non-employment fund. Since Tier 1 (General) visa holders are not eligible to claim for non-employment fund, do they actually have to pay National Insurance like British citizens or someone with permanent residency of UK?
2. If the husband is working and wife is not working, will the husband get any tax benefits?
3. If the person receives annual bonus of £ 5,000 at the end of first year. Will the bonus taxable as salary?
I will sincerely appreciate your reply.
Thanks.

No recourse to public funds is a restriction endorsed on your Tier 1 (G) visa.

Who pays National Insurance
Working and paying tax
