This seems to be the norm with in-country application. They will send an email for IHS top up fund when the application is being evaluated

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think you are confusing Insurance Premium Tax with tax on Benefit in Kind.

Free health insurance scheme from your employer will most likely be treated as a benefit in kind and is taxable. Your employer will issue you a P11D at the end of the tax year and you will have to complete a self assessment return.

Update!

Hello guys, thanks for your responses and concerns. I replied my employer and stated some of the incidents of ill treatment, bullying and threats I received while working for them. I also told them to go ahead and report me to home office. After a couple of days, they mailed me to return my uniform and other company items in my possession. They also called to ask if I was still in the town or I had left the country. Lol. I laughed in my mind. My successful visa application mail was sent to me already. I took the items to them today. The MD came out in person to receive the items and went back in immediately. As I turned to leave, I said in my mind "good riddance".

I will be resuming work at my new place of work (a care home, no longer domiciliary care) in a couple of days.

Thanks to everyone once again for your suggestions and advice.



praiiiiiseeee the Lord!

Please help a brother. I worked for this guy for one week as a construction labourer and I told him I can't continue due to the weather, that the weather is affecting my health. He said if I stopped working he won't pay me, I thought he was joking oh. This is more than 4 weeks now, I have been asking this guy for my money. He said I bridged contract. We signed no contract. It was even when I told him I am stopping that he said it's a 12month job. To end every talk, he told me to get a doctor's report to prove health and he will pay me. I went to gp, they said it will take 6months.

Before I started the job, the only discussion about the job we had was that he sent me pictures of what they do and I told him it's something I will love so. Its in open field so when we started I began to see that the cold is killing. This is my first outdoor job in the uk so I didn't really imagined it will be that cold. I respected him and worked till Friday.

Please what ways can I use to get my money. Are there other legal ways to get a doctor's report? If I get a doctor's report from Nigeria will it serve?

Finally, please did I really do anything wrong? Do I really have to present a doctor's report to be paid?

Yes, she should be able to help with the company she works for, if they issue sponsorship.

Any Architects in the house? A friend is a senior architect and has years of experience. He’s looking to practice in the UK and is wondering if there’s a process to convert/verify his Nigerian degree to the UK equivalent so he can to become a certified architect over here. He has both a BSc and Master’s degree in Architecture. He was told by someone over here that he has to start from scratch and understudy with a certified architect for two years before he can become a level 1 Architect. This to me doesn’t sound right, any insight on this would be helpful please.

Let's hope for an architect to come along to provide insights?
In the meantime, using my engrg background, I went checking and came up with the following
The body that regulates architecture in the UK is the ABA - https://arb.org.uk/
The official register is collated at https://architects-register.org.uk/

As with anything else in the UK, starting point is the gov site.
To become an architect - www.gov.uk/architect
Process, qualifications, exams - https://arb.org.uk/architect-information/applying-for-registration-for-the-first-time/i-hold-overseas-non-recognised-uk-qualifications/

See: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/architects-registration-board

While still in 9ja, let your friend join this institute.
www.architecture.com/join-riba
Pls note just as in engrg, the regulatory body is different from the professional body.

Being a senior architect in 9ja, what registration does (s)he holds and with of the body does (s)he belongs to in 9ja?

My personal view
Anyone that is a qualified architect in 9ja (Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) Professional Practice Examination (PPE)) should not have it that difficult following the UK ARB route (above).
NB: I still think though that there should be some sort of cross recognition (like we have in engrg like the Washington Accord et al). In any case, 9ja allows those formally qualified in their own country to 'skip' the qualification requirement towards PPE (as I understand it) PS: I'm not an architect!!!

Let your friend join RIBA as an Associate - www.architecture.com/join-riba/associate-membership
Move to the UK to do a recognised PG course in Arch, while simultaneously working towards chartered
Or attempt doing a Professional Practice PG Cert/PG Dip in Arch on part time while in 9ja and working towards chartered membership of RIBA
All the best

[UPDATED]
Found what I was hoping for. A direct process to becoming chartered. I'll assume, just like for engrg, it's not going to be a walk in the park but should be straightforward for one that is genuinely qualified and practicing professionally.

Please if you switch visa sponsorship to another employer, will the 5 years to ILR start to count all over again or continue counting?

Thanks for snapping me off the confusion.

You're correct. IPT is paid by the insurance company while benefit in kind tax is what employees pay for their PMI.

With that point clarified, my question was understanding the rationale behind taxing employees on their company PMI because companies brandish PMI as part of benefits only for the employees to be taxed on it again. Sounds like greek gift.

Will appreciate your insight.
