Guaranteed allowance separate from gross income

Post by Habibaamin » Sun Mar 31, 2019 12:26 pm

Hi everyone,

Could you please advise me on this:

My gross pay is less than the threshold with £400.

I am entitled to a guaranteed allowance and a lease car which after summing up would exceed the threshold.

My worry is, this is in my pay slip but not summative as my gross pay.

Could this raise a red flag at home office? I really am nervous😢

Thank you in advance

Under Tier 2 basic pay is the only thing that matters as only some allowances are allowed: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... 3_2019.pdf

So what do you reckon as your previous response stated I wasn't entitled to. I read the guidance and it gave specification on what circumstance such allowance are accepted and I fell on that category. The only mishap here is:
As my pay slip shows the allowance and me paying tax on that "but" not lump in to my gross income.

I believe in this case you should be fine. You also still need to answer if you created a second account here or not ??!! :?:
