Does trading has negative impact on ILR application

Post by dheeraj1025 » Thu Nov 23, 2017 5:04 pm

Hi All,

I am planning to trade on cryptocurrency. I want to do a long-term investment. Trading apps and companies are requesting my national insurance.

Is this going to have any negative impact on my Leave to remain application which I am going to apply early next year?

It would be useful if you stated that you are a Tier 2 General migrant.

As far as I know if you trade then you will have to pay tax on the profits. This might create issues when you apply for the ILR. I suggest don't do anything which may create issues later on.

Depends on type of trading. Spread betting is tax free in the UK. CFDs are not.

Investing your money in such ventures has nothing to do with Tier 2 rules.
Cryptocurrency in general is not regulated in the UK yet. However If you make some gains, then that would require you to declare capital gains via self assessment and pay any required taxes

Do you intend on trading or investing? Specifically on the CFD route, trading could be viewed as a form of self-employment. Investing is just an investment.
Do not send me PM's with specific questions - post question in the open forum so others can also benefit from the answers.
