abuhusna1: I donāt know if it was you or someone else that talked about this people before, but my concern is taxing. So I am against the idea of taxing crypto returns considering the risk level of trading already. I am always careful with any payment that can be linked to crypto source. I believe HMRC would expect you to pay tax for that money as that money can be classified as āreturn on investmentā. And I believe you are to pay tax on investments/returns. The crazy thing about tax is, you can be ignored for 5years and one day you get a letter that you owe some crazy amount of money. Thatās just my fear. This is a perfect process. But I donāt think the company will think twice to respond to request from tax agents for uk based customers. |

Chreze:You can do it the way you wanted as well if you don't feel comfortable with uphold. Lemonade is good too just trying to reduce charges for you reas9n I suggested uphold. I am a crypto investor myself and my money had been in decentralised wallet not ok exchange cos I am very heavy holder. I just cash out whatever I need to uk account. Nothing will ever make me pay tax on my crypto that no government knows how much emotional torture I go through when my portfolio goes down 60%. |

These new immigration laws make no sense. If they wanted to control it reasonably, they should have fixed net migration caps e.g 250k or whatever their target is. All these forecast to reduce it by 20% by 2024/5 is rubbish. Nobody knows how people will react. Iām going to predict same reaction they got in 2011 onwards. A lot of people will avoid UK and then theyāll make changes again to try and attract students and workers. Merry-go round! I also noticed they were scared to touch PSW (for now), that would have been the final nail to drop overseas intake to zero. Confused bunch of politicians/policy makers. 8 Likes |

triplo3: Psw is already useless cos from January students dependents apart from PhD and research courses are no longer coming in. How many can afford PhD or two years research courses so touching psw is not relevant anymore. Even for students how many singles can cope with living expenses and sch fees 1 Like |

They still want to maintain the international reputation of the educational sector so they won't scrap student visa or psw but rather reform it. All those 7 months courses that many piggy-back on for psw would be scrapped. PSW may now be reserved for postgraduate research students and limited to a year instead of two. Raalsalghul: 1 Like |

Goddys: Only British citizens or those on ILR can apply for spouse/family visa, if they have an income of 38k+ Family visa is different from dependent visa. The dependants of those who came in with 3yrs care visa would be stranded once their visa ends after 3yrs I believe people should avoid UK for now. Wether care visa or student Visa...many won't find it easy. 2 Likes |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 10:00am On Dec 05, 2023 |
Raalsalghul: They receive a lot of revenue from international fees - both undergraduate and postgraduate - so there is no appetite or reason to cancel student visas completely. Their aim is stop the recent trend of people, esp from certain countries, using the post-graduate route as a way to migrate their families to the UK, as they observed that this was causing a big increase in the net migration figures. I don't think they will scrap PSW completely as they want to remain a bit competitive, but they will likely tighten it further e.g. cutting down the length , maybe restricting it to certain courses e.g. STEM |
