Income tax questions

Post by metadata » Mon Dec 01, 2008 3:08 pm

Dear All
I am self employed and have an IT company, I earn a healthy chunk of money every year (receive it inmy bank account directly from foreign customers) I dont pay taxes as I dont declare this income and dont have accountant spread sheet. What kind of evidence I can show to prove my income.
Thanks in advance

That will be an interesting ECO interview!

So how do you think it will appear to the ECO when you can not provide an income tax return that matches your declared earnings?

Would you let someone into the country who is already defrauding the taxman in his own country?

I think you should stay in your own country and forget about tier 1 until you can show you are a person of good character and not the traitorous leech you are on your own society.

Thanks FM LOL
I was biting my tongue on this one.
I noticed he didn't explain why he wasn't paying his taxes or declaring income so I don't see how he expects an answer from anyone. You don't think we are going to participate in this fraud or condone it with a helpful response unless you are going to explain your actions in a satisfactory way?

I spent many years in HMRC chasing the likes of this one so I am not going to hold back.

Amazing cheek :?

"Dear UK,
I have spent my time profitably gathering up a large chunk of wealth. I deal with overseas companies so I do not have to declare my income in my own poverty stricken country. I would hate to see it being spent on the unwashed and unworthy.
I am suitability pleased with myself that I think the UK will be a nice place for me to continue to prosper and would really like to do this activity in your country. Unfortunately due to my greed I have failed to pay any tax on this nice little earner but of course I will be a good little chap and pay such things in the UK.

Yours expectedly

Mr Toe Rag."

That's black money. Your case will be rejected at first place.

Thanks for your message. For your kind information i am not cheating my country nor i am cheating any one. I think you don't know much about out sourcing. So i work on different out source sites and mostly they deduct money and taxes etc. as well before paying me. That's why i don't have good evidence for taxes.

What country is this? And then I guess you will have to stay wherever you are and not come to the UK because you need evidence of the kind you declare so whatever fantasy country you live in, suggest you start paying taxes and declaring income if you want to come to the UK

"I dont pay taxes as I dont declare this income and dont have accountant spread sheet"


So you have no track record or Idea of how much money you've earnt, going to earn, when it is comming in, when its come in before, how much tax should have been paid or "has" been paid by your onsite?.....overseas?.....customers....?.... ok..

I would seriosuly check who your working for as you could be in more trouble than just not being able to come to the UK. :wink:

I am surprised how taxman is still not at your doorstep if at all you have transacted such a huge money. If you are taxed at source and if ur country has double taxation agreement with ur client's country, you may not have to pay the tax again. Gone is gone... You can still source an accountant and declare the income and pay ur taxes.

I don't think anyone would endorse such a greedy attitude to evade tax and still enjoy the intangible benefit of securing UK visa. However tax document is not a prerequisite for establishing ur income. A client contraCt and/or payment advice would do. At the same time , if u r not from middle east , BHC would be interested in knowing ur gross vs. Net credits which is a good reason to reject ur case.
