Query on Previous earning for Tier -1

Dear friends

I have a query on previous earning calculation while applying for tier-1 visa from UK

In UK since Jan 2007

Earning Mode till Mar 2008: Full Indian salary with salary slips + UK allowance with no salary slip

Since April 2008 : getting salary in UK with payslips


I am planning to apply in Oct’2008 and planning to show

1)Indian salary till Mar’08
2)UK salary from April’08 to Oct’08

After adding both, I will assess myself against Country code A (UK).

Can I show my 5 months Indian salary & then UK salary for 7 months while I was in UK during all this time?

Regards

Dear friends..It would be great if anybody can help me in this.

Cheers

Yes, you can use Indian salary for income calculations even when you have been working in UK. The only point to remember is that you will not be able to use uplift factor to your Indian earnings for the time you were physically working in UK

That is:-
1. For the time you were in UK but earning Indian salary - add up your Indian earnings and convert them - as is - into GBP pounds without multiplying them with uplift factor.
2. For the time you were in UK earning UK salary - add your earnings as is.

Total earnings = 1+2; calculated against Band A (UK).

You can use the self-assessment tool on the UKBA website to figure out how it works (assuming you have doubts).

Thanks for the reply.

I have a query on this while filling the form.

1. Do I need to put 2 seperate entries when I show the past earnings.

e.g. from 1st Nov 2007 to 31st March 2008 , Earnings in INR in India while working in UK

1st April 2008 to 31st Oct 2008, Earnings in GBP in UK

2. Do I need to provide any explanation for 2 entries as both earnings are for the same company while working in UK only.

I really appreciate your help.

Cheers
