ILR application options if salary slip shows <35K

sojan · Post by **sojan** » Mon Sep 10, 2012 7:38 am

Hi,
This is for my friend who is now almost 4 years 8 months completed in the UK. He was sent initially in work permit(2008) and then later changed into ICT as part of company from India (deputation)

Scenario
1. His total salary as per Initial work permit is 34K in the UK. Now he is getting 37K as per ICT docs.
2. The total pay in the UK comprises of Perdiem(salary slip) + HRA + TA. This perdiem is credited to bank account. HRA & TA is reimbursed.
3. Apart from that he receives approx 8K in India as salary (indian salary slip). Credited to Indian bank acc.
4. Thus technically speaking he is receiving 45K+
5. The total UK tax document shows the 37K amount, but that's available only once a year (P11D or something..)

Issue
1. He cannot show the 35K amount in payslips (Perdiem + India salary < 28K)
2. Tax document is done every year approx August time, but does not split at a monthly level
3. Since HRA is in format of reimbursement (its not present as a document) but only claimed internally. But this amount is part of the entire salary structure and tax statement.

Query
1. Anyone had this issue? Any input would be very helpful
2. Any options NOT to show salary slip<->bank statement combination, but two other documents for salaried people?
3. He asked me if a solicitor can help? Is it any good? Any recommendations

is this the situation?:

20k shown in UK salary slips
17k HRA+TA reimbursed in UK (how?)
8k shown in Indian salary slips

What salary and what allowances are stated in the CoS?

What is the min. salary for his job SOC code?

- 17k HRA+TA reimbursed in UK (how?) -> Via company internal claim tool. You need to submit House Rental DD, petrol bills etc for the claim. The claim money will come into UK bank account.

- SOC code i believe approximately 33K

None, according to the immigration rule 245GF-SD.

Manci, can't the Indian salary slip and Indian bank account statements be also shown - in addition to the UK payslip and UK bank statement? Or is it that under Tier2 only UK income can be considered?

Hi Manci/Sush, i'm not sure on this split, but I will check out with him to get more details.

But going through the link, does the SoC have any importance in this case? It says either 35K or Soc whichever is Higher !!
So even if SoC is shown lower, he need to get 35K rt?

The £35k pay threshold will only come into force from 6 April 2016 (see the link). Since your friend presumably plans to apply in the near future he only needs to be concerned with the SOC code and matching pay.

Hi guys,
Some further details
1. First work permit (non-ICT) 2008-09 -> Remuneration was shown as £20K
2. COS 2009-2010 -> Reference Salary: £32K
3. COS 2010-2011 -> Reference Salary: £32K
4. COS 2011-2012 -> Reference Salary: £33K

So guys, what salary should he show for applying ILR?
1. Is it possible to show the first WP of £20K ?
2. Can he show UK salary + INR salary ?
