Bourne007: Hahaha ;. Louder, please! I’ve been chasing them for my own gbese since the end of the tax year, before they will send my bill after I don chop the money clean mouth, and put me for trouble. I will ring them again today to ask them how much I’m owing, then I’ll issue a banker’s cheque. |

DeeOneBangin: Don't worry you will pay the tax back. They will create a tax code to claw back any tax you didnt pay. You might not even realise they are doing it. My good friend just paid back about £6k |

wonlasewonimi: Everybody knows HMRC will collect every dime owed to the last penny, nobody is disputing that. But the fact remains that I didn’t get taxed till about 5-6 months (only NI deduction was reflected on payslip, income tax was always 0.00) and I know a couple of newly arrived that this has happened to. How that happened, I don’t know. And instead of someone just completely knocking off erico2k2 which I feel he is correct because it kinda applied to me. And las las I got a letter saying i owed £138

DeeOneBangin: But you didn’t tell us that part before, did you? That’s the exact point we were making. Yours is an exception (if it indeed happened), not the norm. A lot of mistakes happen due to laziness, high workload, and an array of other reasons. That it happened to you and a few others does not make it the norm, it often comes at a great cost when you have to refund the taxman from the money you have already spent the previous year. The fact is that tax is applied cumulatively from the first pay cycle (week or month - 1/52 or 1/12 as the case may be), not until after you have earned your full allowance for that tax year. So, to answer the OP’s question again, tax is due for payment from the first wage/salary and their employer was right to have deducted and remitted their tax to HMRC from the first salary. This has nothing to do with tax code or gross earnings. Waiting for the next person to quote me with the dictionary definition of tax code as if we are children that needed to be schooled 3 Likes |

icon8: Take off like 3 hours from work before you do so. HMRC and Nigerian High Commission are now almost the same thing. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by TheGuyFromHR: 2:23pm On May 18, 2022 |
DeeOneBangin: As icon8 pointed out, you basically withheld this part from your tori. Again, if you are earning 2k p.c.m as you say, there's no way 5 - 6 months unpaid PAYE tax will be 138 pounds. Better hold fire on any spending plans first, HMRC fit still dey come. 2 Likes |

Please is the amex card approval immediately, or do I have to wait a while before they let me know if I'm approved or not? Mamatukwas: |

DeeOneBangin:same here. Was not taxed from December. My first tax was this April. Was only paying NI. But I think the reason is because the new tax year begins in April |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Viruses: 2:37pm On May 18, 2022 |
mex551:Was your total pay from December to March more than 12750? If it's not you won't be taxed. |

Just to reiterate what others have warned. Credit card is not free money, to spend is easy na to pay back hard. let's all be cautious on spending. i saw someone saying he no get income but got approved by credit card. No be anyone prayer to enter debt, keep eye clear, spend wisely cause this no be naija, they go take their money laslas. no do pass yourself at all. I just say may I talk this one because as things dey go for this amex trend i see stories that touch forthcoming in the next few months. 7 Likes |

Also remember that the 12,570 personal allowance applies even if you start work in March (tax year M12), and your salary na 12,565 pounds for that month. |

Abeg I get question here ooh. A cousin of mine is studying in the UK and will graduate next (MSc-two year program), last month her employer (normal care 20 hours work week) told her she could sponsor her for full time job. She said she just told her boss that she is a student and not sure if that was possible. I was discussing with her over the weekend and she told me. I told her it was possible that she should rush back and collect that offer. But after our conversation I decided to bring it here for your wisdoms and advice. My questions are: 1. Is it possible for her employer to sponsor her and change her status from student to worker without her finishing her program? 2. How is home office going to react to this? 3. Is her school going to write home office or something? Please those of you with experience on matters like your wisdom will be of great help. |

Missposh: It’s usually immediately. Some people are approved but have to wait to find out how much limit they are given. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by r4blessing: 6:08pm On May 18, 2022 |
spacyzuma: Yes I chose the London offer but only because I wanted to do my post grad studies as well. I still prefer the island, it’s less stressful and your take home is higher due to the lesser tax charge 2 Likes |

dettolgel: We've had examples like this previously on this thread where someone converted from a student visa to Tier 2 directly. She should carry out her findings, I think it's possible. |

phyl123:You my friend understands how the tax works, the problem with the newbies is the like to jump into conclusion without properly analysing the whole fact. Another fact is this two people might work in same place earn same 24k per year but mr A might take home more than Mr B cos of tax codes. Back in the early and late 200os you get a cheque back cos you have been overtaxed cos your tax code was based on BR 20% but these days HMRC have upgraded instead of returning your overtaxed money the simply adjust your tax code to reflect the money they owe you. |

Viruses:You are getting it wrong I never put a time scale on it, I just said when you earn above your tax code which is your taxfree money. for example if you start a new job May this year and you earn 2k B4 tax and you decide to quit and take a break and go to Nigeria by September and yor tax code is 12000L, howmuch tax would you pay lets see if we get thte gist |

DeeOneBangin:YOu will get to know that some people who talk like this are basically assuming and do not earn £1 in the UK, for the 15 years I have been on this Forum I have seen loads like that nothing surprises me these days |
