Hi, I am currently on the route to getting to financial requirements needed for my wife Spouse Visa.
I am going down the CIS route for my employment. I get paid every 2 weeks, should i get payslips for every time i will be getting paid or one at the end of the month showing everything added up for that month.
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
There's some confusion here. If you are registered under CIS, you are a self-employed sub-contractor and the main contractor isn't your employer. The slips you are being issued with are showing the tax deductions the contractor has paid on your behalf to HMRC (generally 20%).
They aren't able to issue you with payslips. The contractor has a legal requirement to issue one CIS statement at the end of each calendar month.
In order to meet the minimum income level of £18,600 you will have to show 12 months earnings with the nett amount after allowable business expenses have been deducted. Have you submitted a self-assessment tax return for 2017-18?
Sorry if i have confused you in anyway, this is what i have read and asked a immigration lawyer about. To my understanding this falls into me.
'A person working as a subcontractor under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), administered by HMRC (and under which the contractor deducts tax and National Insurance contributions from the payments made to the subcontractor), can, as an alternative to meeting the requirements of Appendix FM-SE in respect of self- employment, choose instead to count their CIS income as income from salaried employment. If they do, they must meet the requirements of paragraph 2 of Appendix FM-SE for specified evidence for salaried employment, subject to reflecting their status as a CIS contractor rather than an employed person. So, they must provide CIS payment slips in place of payslips, a letter from the CIS contractor in place of an employer’s letter and the required personal bank statements. If a person cannot provide this evidence, or it is not clear that they are covered by the CIS scheme, their income should be treated as income from self-employment and the relevant self-employment evidence must be provided.'
I am sub-contracting under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) and being given like you said a deduction statement (payment slip as mentioned above) each time i am paid (every 2 weeks) I have all evidence to prove i am covered by this scheme. and i fall directly under this category.
