Self assessment confusion

Post by cranberrytea » Fri Mar 07, 2014 9:01 pm

I am applying for citizenship based on time in the UK requirements. I have had ILR for over a year and meet all the requirements. The only problem I am having is the evidence of self-assessment statement. I am a company director of a small limited company. I have not taken any salary or dividends from the company (which is trading but yet to bring in enough money for a profit and all monies brought in have been reinvested into the company). Therefore, I am not registered for PAYE and do not have to fill in a self-assessment. I haven't taken any benefits from the company that would require this. My HMRC tax office should corroborate this if contacted by the home office however I am wondering if I should include something stating that I have not included a self-assessment because I haven't met the requirements to do one or if I should just leave it be and am over thinking it. Recommendations?
Also, my OH and I are in disagreement re: Life in the UK Test. I passed it for my ILR 1.5 years ago. I think it is still valid and I can use it for my citizenship application. Is this correct?
Thank you!

That is what I thought. Just wanted to settle the disagreement. I am from a primarily English speaking country so the language requirement isn't an issue. English is my first language.

As you soon as become a LTD company director you have to do a self assessment. It doesn't matter whether you pay yourself or not. Self assessment has to be done in my view.

That is what I thought but according to HMRC that is not the case. I tried to do one and it wouldn't let me so I called and was informed that I didn't need to do one.

I called HMRC again and you are right. Thank you for prompting me to question it again. Will get that sorted and then its all set. Thank you!
