Self assessment problem for ILR through Tier 2 general

Hi friends,
I really need your help and suggestions. As I was unaware of the rules and responsibilities during my stay in the UK on tier 2 general, I did few mistakes explained below. Coming to my legal stay history in the UK:
1. 2015-16 tier 2 dependant (opened a limited company)
2016-now (tier 2 general)
2. The mistake was, at the time of applying for tier 2 visa, I didn't close my pvt Ltd company as I ignored it as I was not doing business and no payment transaction happening at that time. In 2017, I transfer my limited company on to my wife as the director and employer.
3. As i was in self assessment(but no business been made) and in tier 2 general at the same time in 2016&2017 period, will it causes any problems at the time I apply for ILR?
4. HMRC sent me a letter at the end of 2016 said that there is £1200 tax due which will be taken from my salary each month (£100) for one year. They did it as they said. So I had a different tax code for 2017 which been sent to my current employer.
5. As I am eligible for ILR in 5 year route in 2021, will these things affect my ILR decision even my tax records are clear as of 2017?
Any suggestions and recommendations to avoid my ILR rejection is must appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Regards
KA

why did HMRC send a £1200 tax bill if you didn't transact any business on the company?

Hi,
Sorry I wasn't clear in my first post. That £1200 bill was for the 2015-16 self assessment which was not been properly submitted by my accountant.
Thanks.

Working in your own company or being self employed is not allowed under Tier 2. You breached the conditions of your visa and you ILR may be affected
Will tax code change affect my ILR through Tier 2 general

Hello,
My tier 2 general visa started from March 2016 and eligible to apply for ILR in February 2021.
My tax code been changed for the year 2017-18 since HMRC found that there was some tax due (because of an error made by my accountant when I was on tier 2 dependant visa in 2015) for the period of 2015-16. They had collected the tax by divided it in to the 12 months hence I have a different tax code been shown in my payslips for 2017-18.
Please suggest, will UKBA rejects my ILR due to delay in my tax payment or changes in tax code? How deeply UKBA usually check these kind of tax records from HMRC?

DO NOT start new posts asking the same query. Working in your own company or being self employed is not allowed under Tier 2 regardless of any taxes issues. You breached the conditions of your visa and you ILR
may be affected
