ILR application and Supplementary work

Post by mkhoja1 » Wed Apr 02, 2025 10:43 pm

Hello,
I am looking to apply for my ILR in July and I have a question about some supplementary work I did in the past.
I am on a SWV as a teacher and I have tutored in the past (always under 20 hours a week and outside my contracted hours). Just to keep everything legal and above board, I filed self assessments for this income and since I was working as a contractor, I declared myself as self employed for my tutoring jobs.
I’ve read that it is difficult to prove that this kept with my visa conditions especially that it didn’t exceed 20 hours.
Now I haven’t tutored for over a year and I am not sure what Information the ILR application asks for but I’m wondering how my situation would impact my ILR application if at all?
Any advise?

It has no effect as you were not in breach of the visa conditions. ILR application does not ask about this either

Sounds reassuring. Thanks

I have read at places that home office can flag tax discrepancies. Or if they were to look at my hmrc tax records they would find that for some years there are two sources of income. One at my main employer and the other me being self employed. Would that not flag something fishy?

No. This has no relevance to your ILR. You probably came across discussions of fairly old (but highly publicised) tax related refusals under the old Tier 1 General route, where some applicants made false representations regarding their earnings in their tax returns and used those false claims to qualify for and obtain Tier 1 visas deceptively.
