Naturalisation and tax code

Hello,

I am applying for naturalisation based on the ILR that I received in 2018, while filling the online form, under the “Documents” section there are list of documents asked to provide and one of them is

“Proof of living in the UK for Mr --- for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen”

Wondering, is a passport enough as proof, or do I need to include more documents?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Hassan

The more docs you provide the stronger your case would be imho.

Provide council tax for the past 5 years as they seem to accept that without any issue.

Only passports are required if the OP followed the UK visa and ILR route. Council tax bill is irrelevant and not required and does not make a case "stronger"!!

I think you took what I said Literally!!

I don't mean, send them whatever you like and your immigration case will become "stronger" all of a sudden.

1s, it was a figure of speech.

2nd, in my 18 years of experience of dealing with the HO, the more doc you provide to them, the better it is. mainly because you won't leave a room for them to contact you later-on and ask you for this/that which again means your case (whatever it might be) will be delayed.


OP: again, send them whatever you have.

Thank you both, really appreciate your help.

Hello,

I am applying for naturalisation based on the ILR that I received in 2018 and have just checked my tax status with HMRC that shows there is “non coded income” under my account and also my tax code is starting with K (that mean I have untaxed income which is more than my tax-free amount.)

Do you think these points will be considered while processing naturalisation applications, what do you suggest?

Thanks,

Naturalisation has no specific income/tax/benefit requirements so I don't believe there is an issue.

Thanks for your reply,

There is a question about the "Tax office reference number" can I leave it empty? would that be ok?

Thanks,

You get this number from your employer or on your P60. If you are employed, you need to fill this in.

It is NOT your tax code etc.
