Dear Marcnath/Zimba,

Please need a few clarifications on the following:

1) For corporation tax, do we need to submit CT600 AND CT603 (notice to deliever tax return) OR can submit any one of them?

2) It is still unclear that photocopies of the entire application is needed. If yes, please can you let me know where it is mentioned?

3) SET (O) Section 5.2-5.4 (finances) where it asks about working in UK, salary, and how much I pay.

As I am the director of my company do I tick “I work in UK”. Also I draw a minimum salary and my rent (expenses) are higher than that but I have my own savings. What figures do I mention then in 5.2-5.4?

I do not want to give the wrong impression that I can not finance myself so a bit concerned. I understand SET(O) is a generic form and maybe these questions are not very relevant to Tier 1 but just wanted to confirm.

Thank you

1) Either one
2) Read Pg 85 of the SET (O) application form
3) Fill in the actual figures in 5.2-5.4, then complete 5.7 and mention the savings in the additional info box. This section is not critical for T1E

Thank you for your reply. Appreciate it.

1)SET(O) version 07/2018 has 78 pages in total. Where do I find page 85?

2) Also, Section 6.2 and 6.11(immigration history - absences) . Aren't both questions the same thing?


Thank you

Dear Marcnath,

I just want to confirm my jobs hours for ILR. Please can you help once again as i have a clearer picture now.

Extension received: April 2018
Qualify for ILR: Dec 2018
Plan to apply ILR: 7th January 2019

Employee 1 FT: 7th Jan 2018 - 31st Jan 2019
Enployee 2 FT: 1st May 2018 - 31st Jan 2019
Employee 3 FT: 1st July 2018 - 1st Nov 2018.


Q1: As I can claim for 1 year before date of application (7th Jan 2019) I do plan to submit an early FPS report for Jan 2019 will January 2019 full month be counted for both employee 1 and 2?

Q2: I might be asking this question again but please answer: my salary slips are made on monthly basis 30 hours a week. But 8 months follow 120 hours and 4 months (March, June, August, November) follow 150 hours(given 4 or 5 paychecks logic). I will be submitting a week by week chart also along with the application showing 30 hours for 52 weeks will that be okay?

Total: 1560 hours a year.

Please check this link for this logic:

Q3: Do i qualify for my ILR job hours given the above employee 1,2,3?

Thank you

First the link refers to when a person is paid weekly, which is not your case.

If the payslip is done on a weekly basis, I hope it shows the duration of the payslip to reflect 28 or 35 weeks as the case may be. That would be right way to do that. If not, the weekly chart should help.

No

Thank you for your reply. No the payslips do not show the dates it only says the month that is Jan 2018, Feb 2018 and so forth. But my accountant says that is how the pay is calculated monthly for 4 weeks or 5 weeks (i know no month is for 5 weeks) but just for the sake of calculation.
I did the same at the extension period and the accountant submitted the week chart along with the pay slips so it was fine.
I was just wondering in the old guidelines it said 120 hours a month or 30 hours a week (although it was confusing) but new guidelines only say 30 hours a week.
So fingers crossed if I submit the week chart it is fine?
Do you think it can be a problem?

Thank you

The 120 hours was a mistake and it has been corrected - so you can't depend on that any more.
You should be able to argue that in the cover letter with the weekly break up and so on. But if your accountant can have the dates in the Period section of the Payslip, that would be much better.

I just checked my old documents what I had submitted at extension stage. So basically the accountant had provided:
1) Wage slips (they mentioned only months and either 120 or 150 hours)
2) Yearly break down of hours month wise (template)
3) Weekly break down of hours mentioning dates when the week starts and break down of hours (different template for each month mentioning weeks)

So i think if i submit the break down week wise with specific start of the week date I should be fine?

Thank you

Dear Marcnath,

Once again your help needed please

1) Section 5 where it asks do you work in UK? Do we have to ticke yes or no?

2) The table where we have to fill the jobs asks for start and end date and hourly rate. For example one of my employee start date is Oct 2015 and the hourly rate has changed over the years. Although I will be claiming points 7th Jan 2018 onwards what is the best way to fill the table? Do I have to fill in the table and all previous hour rates from 2015?

Thank you

Question: If your husband or wife has a settled status ILR or british passport can you employ him/her as an employee of your company for Tier 1 and claim points?

Sure - why not ?

Though, if your partner is a settled person, I would wonder why one would be on the more restrictive T1E visa.

Dear Marcnath,

Please if you can answer this:

1) My Tier 1 E is valid till Apr 2020. But I will be applying for ILR in Jan 19. Whatever the result of ILR will my leave stay intact till Apr 2020?

2) Will that break the continuous residency incase of a refusal (God forbid!)?

Thank you
