Income from Ltd. company now dissolved

Hi,

My ILR will be due in October 2015

Background:

I came to UK on Tier 1 Entry Clearance in 2010 showing income from Employer in India. So that's OK.

Till early April 2011 I was on permanent emplyment in UK. In May 2011, I started contracting by opening by own Ltd company and myself as director with 100% share.

In Oct 2012, I applied for extension showing salary+dividend from this company as income and it was approved with no issues. I presented myself as employed by my Ltd company (not self-employed) and paid required taxes and class 1 NI.

In June 2013, I went on maternity break...

In May 2014, I went back to work but this time on permanent employment with a UK employer (note that Ltd was still open but not trading or earning any revenue)

I am still working with a good UK employer but dissolved Ltd company in Mar 2015

My question is:
1) Can Home Office take this fact negatively that the employer in past i.e. my Ltd company (opened in May 2011 and dissolved in Mar 2015) is no longer trading?
I am questioning because I read posts wherein some people faced issues during ILR that previous employer in not trading etc.

2) Since I was only earning Statutory Maternity Pay from June 2013 to May 2014 due to maternity break from my Ltd company, can this cause any issues? P60 for Apr 2014 says no tax was paid since total earning was lower than threshold (including statutory maternity pay).

What steps I shall take to make my application water-tight to be successful.

Thanks in advance for your valuable comments and advice

Just trying rephrase my questions:

1. Is it a cause of concern if earning in last 5 years (not last 12 months from application) were from a LTD company which is now dissolved? I was sole director of that company drawing salary+dividends

2. Is it a cause of concern if P60 for 2013-14 tax years shows NIL tax and NI paid because I was on maternity leave most of the year? However income from Statutory Maternity Pay from same LTD company was in total was low enough to be not taxed. Although I did not pay any income tax or NIC, there was good amount of tax paid to HMRC on dividends.

Thanks

Hi,

Which number(s) should I ring to get my employment history and NIC?

Thanks in advance!

Make sure your tax for the Limited Company are paid and up to date.

Keep your queries regarding your single ILR application in a single topic.

Hi,

I'll be applying for ILR soon. I have continuous residency from 2011 till now and on that basis I am applying for ILR.

Prior 2010, I was in UK from 2007 to 2009 - left UK (for 14 month) and then returned in 2011.

In the SET(O) form, there is a question:

7.11 How long have you lived in the UK?
Please provide details of any periods of absence of more than six months during that time

Should I mention about the fact that I live in UK since 2007 and that I had long absence from 2009 to 2011 given that I am not considering that period in my continuous residency?

Cheers!

Any advise please?
