Hello guys, thanks for being solution providers on this platform. please I am a student and my husband who is my defendant got a job with a company that sponsor tier 2 visa, but they stated during the interview process that they wont be sponsoring for his role as its not a senior role but would only provide documentation when he wants to renew or apply for postgraduate visa. Our visa is expiring next year and we are thinking of asking the company to provide us with COS while we bear the financial burden of the process, but we are skeptical as we do not know if it is okay to make such request. I just need advice your and opinions, is there anyone that has done this before? Is it a possibility? |

japhethGold:Thank for this. About 2mths ago, I echoed the same point you/your link states about ACCA being very crucial in the UK as opposed to ICAN, but och12 argued against this same point. As I no be accountant, I didn't argue it, but I have one particular accountant friend that won laurels in his ICAN journey here in Nigeria, went to South Africa for a B.comm and graduated summa cum laude, inducted into their hall of fame, all this after studying and graduating First class in Microbiology from Lasu ..He still did ACCA before moving to the UK, cos he knows wasup. och12: |

Kikspie: It's not legal to pay for COS to be issued. Still, nothing stops you from having a discussion where you explain why you want the COS as opposed to continuing with PGW visa, and then seeing if there's something that can be done on both ends e.g. a bond where you promise to pay back the money spent on the COS if you leave within a certain period. The key thing is to approach the a manager you have a good relationship with and convince them, so they then take it up. It doesn't cost much so there shouldn't be an issue since they already have the license, ceteris parebus. Make it clear you're paying for your own visa/maintenance etc, but offering to pay for the COS itself to be issued is not something you should put down formally, like in an email. |

Thank you so much or your response, we do not intend to pay for the COS but to request for it and pay for the visa application fees and NHS or any other fees involved. We believe that their reason for saying they wouldn't be sponsoring for the role is the financial aspect, because they are a global company and are one of those that sponsor skilled workers from other countries. Another concern is why do I need to pay for NHS during PGW visa application when my company provides me with private healthcare? koonbey: |

Kikspie: If you do pay for COS, keep it between you and your husband at all times and not my even a best friend. It's not legal to pay for your COS, and recently this is being used against many Africans who are getting their visas revoked. Its interesting how people report issues that they have not interest in |

Kikspie: You should have that conversation with them then. As to the bolded, that is the law - there are no ifs or buts. Even as tier 2(skilled worker), you'll pay the IHS regardless of whether your company provides private healthcare. Exceptions are if you're on a healthcare worker visa in which case you won't pay at all* or if you or your spouse works for the NHS, in which case you can claim a refund later. *not sure about this bit. |

WHAT ARE EXEMPT INCOMES UNDER UK TAX LAWS? Exempt incomes are non-taxable incomes that you are not required by law to let HMRC know about them, and you are not required to pay tax on them. This means that when you are filing your tax returns, you do not need to state them on your tax returns. This is legal as the law has exempted them from taxes. I have provided a list of some of the exempt incomes below for your attention. 1. Interest income earned on your Individual Savings Account- ISAs. 2. Rent received from letting one room in a flat occupied by your family- achieved through the Rent -A-Room Scheme. 3. Interest earned from investment savings certificates offered National Savings & Investment (NS&I)- NS&I is a government department under Chancellor of Exchequer that encourages savings and investment among UK residents. The UK Government guarantees ALL investments made in NS&I products. 5. Income earned from lottery and gambling, 6. Foreign incomes made by UK residents who are not "Domiciled" in the UK. 7. Income earned from investment in UK government gilts or bonds. The list is longer but I will stop here now. If your financial transactions are complicated and you need help with you tax planning, follow me on TikTok @japhethjev1 or chat me on whatsapp 07450278715. Cheeers! 3 Likes |

tblackE61: You need to have private hire taxi insurance to drive for Uber or any other booking app. It forms part of your agreement with Uber. If you drive on your normal car insurance and an incident or accident happens, you will likely have claims repudiated (turned down) You might also need a special insurance to use your personal car for food deliveries See below (copied) It is important to note that your standard car insurance policy will not cover you for delivering food from restaurants or takeaways to customers for payment. To be able to do that within the law, you will need to ensure that you have fast food delivery insurance, which is a form of hire and reward insurance. |
