Tax liability on overseas income for a Tier 4 Dependant

[sarva41]

Hi,

My wife is doing PhD in UK and her visa is valid till Jan 2015. I'm currently employed in India. I would like to move to UK as her dependent.
My employer has agreed for me to work from home from UK while being paid in Indian salary. Are there any legal constraints with this option? am I expected to pay tax in UK even though I'm being paid in rupees?

Thank you!

You should read this:

If you are liable for tax in a given tax year, and are not ordinarily resident or domiciled, it will likely be on the remittance basis - meaning you will be taxed only on any money you bring into the UK.

Is your wife's education provider a HSI; otherwise you will be not be allowed to join her?

Thanks Lucapooka! that helps

and sorry, I don't know what HSI stands for?

It's a typo; I meant to say HEI. An eduction provider that is in receipt of govt. funding and is therefore one that Tier 4 migrants studying at level 7 or above may be eligible to bring their dependants.
