This is there is being an overhaull of the visa system, for cheats like this...he pays nothing to the UK tax system, yet his family enjoy the benefits of it...free schools and free health care! Thank this chap and others like him for the reforms!
are you for real? pathetic.
Thanks varghesejim for sharing this view.
My above mentioned scenario is totally based on what the policy guidance says.
Converting overseas earnings into pounds
sterling (£)
106. Earnings made overseas must be
converted into pounds sterling so that we can
assess them. The official exchange rate we
use is the one produced by OANDA.
107. An applicant should use the closing
exchange rate on the OANDA website at
www.oanda.com/currency/classic-converter
on the last day of the period for which he/she
has claimed earnings in that currency. This is
an independent website, for which we are not
responsible.
Kingdom, he/she can include these in
the calculation to score points for earnings.
The applicant should provide details of the
overseas earnings, in the original currency in
which they were paid. The applicant should
convert these earnings into pounds sterling
by using the closing exchange rate on the
OANDA website for the last day of the period
for which he/she has claimed earnings in that
currency.
Official tax document produced by
the tax authority or employer, showing
earnings on which tax has been paid or will
be paid in a tax year. For these purposes,
we define official tax documents as:
• a document produced by a tax authority
that shows details of declarable taxable
income on which tax has been paid or will
be paid in a tax year (for example a tax
refund letter or tax demand);
• a document produced by an employer as
an official return to a tax authority, showing
details of earnings on which tax has been
paid in a tax year (for example a P60 in the
United Kingdom); or
• a document produced by a person,
business, or company as an official return
to a tax authority, showing details of
earnings on which tax has been paid or
will be paid in a tax year. The document
must have been approved, registered,
or stamped by the tax authority (this is
particularly relevant to some overseas tax
systems, for example SARAL in India).
Please note that because tax documents
are usually produced at the end of a fixed
tax period they will not necessarily show
the entire period for which the applicant is
claiming previous earnings unless they are
for the exact period claimed. An applicant
should therefore be cautious about using
these documents unless he/she is sure they
show the exact amount of earnings for which
he/she is claiming points.
There is nothing say that applicant can not claim overseas earning.
In addition to, I was issued a tier general visa on March-11 on the basis of salary and self employment(UK earnings). I have paid whatever the tax was due.I am paying tax and will be paying tax. Tax amount is in thousands not in hundreads.
Hope to get positive reply at the earliest opportunity
