I don't just understand why people keep giving negative news up and down. Tax is everywhere except in Nigeria where we don't pay and is because we run a wrong system in Nigeria but in abroad, you will pay it and that's how it works. On accommodation, UK have houses just that these people take many things into consideration before giving out there house and if they don't do it that way, I bet it with you many would have destroyed there land. Let me use my case as example, I got accommodation then in Nigeria before even getting into UK at all. So, gather your information very well before JAPA and nothing will happen. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Tax is moderate. Be logical, get affordable accommodation. So these two are not problems. 4 Likes |

emperorlaqrin: Well from experience you can make 3k alone if you can work at least 6days a week for 14hrs on a 11£ hour job. Moreover you and your wife can comfortably work 3k a month even if the student has to work 20hrs a week. Fact 6 Likes |

Thortp: Rent and transport costs will depend on where you live and work in the UK. Typically areas with more and higher paying jobs e.g. South east have greater demand on resources like housing and you will not find a 2 bed for anywhere near £800. Depending on where you have to travel to work, transport costs ( especially train costs) will far exceed £200 a month Energy bills have skyrocketed There are other mandatory bills such as council tax and depending on if you drive, road tax, car insurance etc For young children, costs for reputable childcare can exceed £1k per child depending on location and hours Immigration costs, including IHS, to renew their visas - a family of 4 would need at least £7k for each renewal. The rosy picture you have painted will not be the reality for many, and people need to have realistic expectations and plan properly 14 Likes 1 Share |

alphabbey1: My brother don't stress yourself. Most Nigerian will never agree with you until they jump into point of no return. I schooled in University of Portsmouth and can relate well. I stayed in Burnaby the student hall of residence which I can say saved me from outside accommodation. Portsmouth is even not that cheap. Thank God I'm back to my country. There's no place like home. Don't ask me why ? I have tasted it and I still love Nigeria. May God just give us the right leader. 31 Likes 2 Shares |

Let me add to what the OP has said. I will advise anyone coming to the Uk on student visa without dependent to pay 60-70% of their fees cuz you can only work 20 hours during term time and full time during holidays. Imagine earning £200 per week that’s £800 monthly. You will feed and pay rent, electricity and other minor expenses. You wont be able to sort your school fees unless you break the 20 hours rule. Best you come with your dependent so both of you can hustle well at least your monthly income can be £2,800 after tax ( student don’t pay tax) Make sure you plan your accommodation well before coming or probably budget 6 months rents or you get a Uk guarantor who is a home owner. I want to move to a new apartment and my guarantors didn’t pass credit check I had to pay £4,694 for 6 months rent ( 2 bedrooms furnished apartment) I was paying £675 per month for a studio flat when I just got into England with my family we only stayed for 5 months, I had to end my tenancy today. Will be moving to 2 bedroom tomorrow. All in all Uk is very nice if you migrate with the right route either student or skilled worker. Within a year you should be fine. **if you have the money you can move your family at once. I moved with my wife and son. **This Uk tax thing is not that bad like people paint it oooo there are jobs here na you go even tire to work. ** I have never paid electricity bill since October as government assisted households with £400 energy rebate to help reduce high energy bill ( you use more electricity during winter) 33 Likes 4 Shares |

henro757: I do agree with you on this. In all functioning countries... tax is a given ... it is deducted from your pay .... the percentage depends on the country and your total earnings as well as a few other factors. At the end of the day.... we deal with our take home pay .... and this is what matters. So in essence .... it should be about how well can one survive on his take home pay so no need to be lamenting on taxes. I think one of the most common misconceptions is people migrating believe jobs are readily available ... as we can see in comments such as I can go to school and work 20 hrs Part Time while my spouse can work full time. On your own ... need to have support for at least three months for the to adapt and stand on your own two feet. 4 Likes |

When I see posts like this talking about TAX, TAX in the UK and how difficult it is, I get surprised and suspicious if it is the same UK I have been in since 2021. UK is just like any other country where nothing is free. If you are lazy, and you think going to UK/US/Canada would be an escape; you are in for a rude awakening. A lazy man will not make it anywhere. My wife and I conveniently saved £15,000 in this same UK in 2022; this is on top of sponsoring my brother and his wife into the country and completing a house project for my father. Believe all you want, if you are lazy wether you go to UK or US or Canada you still will not succeed, and there are homeless people in US, Canada, Australia, UK and all over the world. It all depends on the individuals. I live in Brighton, which isn't a cheap City by any standard, nicknamed "London by the Sea" for that reason. 19 Likes 1 Share |

The OP Maybe Should Be Told That Our Salaries Get Taxed At Source In Nigeria. Any Product You Use In Nigeria Is Taxed As Well. It's Not A UK Thing. Need I Tell You That While Government Returns Your Taxes In The UK, Nigeria Has Never Refunded My Tax? And What Do They Do With Tax In Nigeria? Embezzle? I Am More Than Willing To Live In The UK And Pay Tax Than Live In Nigeria And Pay Tax. 6 Likes |
