ILR Eligibility Query

My wife got her PBS Dependent Visa initially on 22/09/2014 valid until 11/12/2016 ( this date was my Tier 1 visa expiry date. I am now on an ILR). We applied for her visa renewal end of November by post. We have since received the BRP for a visa for 3 years, but the issue date is 20/12/2016. So ther...

Re: Overseas income for ILR, tax question

It was about £8k. But I only used it for my extension and not for my ILR. But that should not matter really. Also, another thing to note is that when the said money was earned, I was in UK for about 2.5 years. So it could be argued that I wasn't domiciled. I am yet to come across a case here in the ...

Re: Overseas income for ILR, tax question

I have done a Tier 1 extension with part overseas income and only filed income tax returns in the country where the money was earned. They were not declared in SAR in UK. I had no problems with my recent (end of April 2016) ILR application as well. I think you will be fine. Just keep your US tax doc...

Re: Director - Dividends only - No Self assesment!

While it is true that CT600 is company accounts and not your personal liability, there is a direct correlation between dividends shown on your self assessment returns and the profits shown for the company in CT600. A lot of rejections were happening because of CT600 not reflecting the required profi...

Re: ILR - Overseas Income and SAR (Tier 1 - General)

No. But my solicitor did advise before the appointment that I could get a form to fill for self-employment and returns etc. If given I would have stated my SAR were not done in time and now I have rectified my mistake. But luckily, no form was given.

Re: Director - Dividends only - No Self assesment!

Just an update. I had a successful ILR application in person in Croydon PEO with a similar case to yours. My advice to you is to do the following in addition to the normal documentation. 1) File all Self assessment returns if not done so from the year of entry until now. 2) Get a letter from account...

Re: ILR - Overseas Income and SAR (Tier 1 - General)

Some Updates 1) Filed the returns retrospectively for 2011-12 and 2012-13. No tax due. 2) Not required to show overseas income if it is employment income and taxed at source was the advice I received. This might change depending on your domicile status. So seek professional advice. 3) Took a good 3 ...

Re: Director - Dividends only - No Self assesment!

I am in a very similar situation as yours with an appointment in the first week of April now. I did consult solicitors and have been following several members on this forum facing issues similar to yours. This is the crux of the issue - HMRC is all right with you not filing Self assessment returns a...
