Self Employed income Before or After Tax

[murtazaG]

Dear admins and viewers,
I am planning to apply for spouse visa and I have some questions and would highly appreciate if you could please guide me so here we go

1. My main job is non-salried employment and I get weekly payslips for that, which falls short of the threshold, and my second job is a courier service and I get paid weekly for that too but is self-employed.
So my question here is regarding my second job Do I have to earn the remaining threshold every week, or would they look at the total for the year, 6 months or every month. and what documents would I need to provide?
Many Thanks

Appendix fm 1.7 financial requirement guidance.

9.3.6. Income under Category F or Category G can be combined with income from salaried and
non-salaried employment, non-employment income and pension income in order to
meet the financial requirement. However, unlike with other Categories, these sources of
income must fall within the relevant financial year(s) in order to be included. Under
Category F or Category G, all sources of income must fall within the financial year(s)
relied on and must still be a source of income at the time of application. For example, to
count income from property rental the income must have been received during the
relevant financial year(s) and the property must still be owned by the relevant person at
the date of application.

Thank you Seagul for your time i do appreciate this, a couple of more questions for you

1. As i am going to depend on two jobs for my spouse visa, my first job is i am working through an agency been there for more than two years now earning around 20,000/year and i do get paid holidays but is hourly paid, but the hourly pay rate is fixed unless if work evening and overtime, no contract so does this fall under non-salaried or salaried employment?

2. My second job is self-employed courier service so that falls under category F as I'm depending on 1 last full year, and both jobs combined will fulfill my financial requirement. do i have to be earning the exact remaining amount, what figure do they take into consideration as one solicitor told me you have to be earning around 25000/ year to qualify for 18600. i.e just spouse???

3. I wouldn't have any payslips for the second job what documents will need to provide for this
4, Do i have to provide payslips for the whole year for my payee job as I'm depending on the whole year for the second job??

4. Which cat can use, how to calculate my income and depend on i mean depend on just six months or a whole year for the first job knowing that my second job will be for the full year, and documents shall i provide. Many Thanks

Maybe you are working on zero hour with no fix salary which means none-salaried. If you are earning that much from your paye job then use only that income to meet the financial requirement.

Possibly not. See link below for guidance on accommodation and overcrowding. Nationality is irrelevant.

A house is considered to be overcrowded if 2 persons aged 10 years or more of opposite sexes, who are not living together as husband and wife, must sleep in the same room

Account is taken only of rooms with a floor area larger than 50 square feet and rooms of a type used either as a living room or bedroom.

HI Seagul

Let me just double-check this with you please, if we add the living room will make it 3 rooms which i assume will be enough for 5 people. how would I relay this across? would i need to do a letter or something?

Yes living room larger than 50 square feet will be counted as sleeping room/bedroom. You will certainly have to explain your living arrangement in the application form so won't need any letter to attach. But you must have tenancy agreement and the noc letter from the landlord/estate agent.

Thank you Seagul

It’s gross taxable profit.

Appendix FM-SE

“b) Where the self-employed person is a sole trader or is in a partnership or franchise agreement, the income will be the gross taxable profits from their share of the business in the relevant financial year(s), not including any deductable allowances, expenses or liabilities which may be applied to the gross taxable profits to establish the final tax liability.”

Use this formula (Turnover- expenses = Net profit)
