PLEASE everything is set but my challenge now is tax. As a business owner, you are expected to pay personal income tax.

Now what I intend to state on my application is that

I earn about 2,500,000 annually from my main business.

Like 600,000 from transport

700,000 from property rent

And another 600k from a side business.

This is totalling about 4,400,000 a year. Dividing this by 12 will be about 366,000 a month.

Now I will present property documents, transport documents etc.

Like I said I was in dubai in October last year and can provide details of flight accommodation etc.

However the guy I asked about tax clearance from the state internal revenue, said that if they would work out tax clearance for me based on the figure of about 366k month, then It will cost me up to 700k for the 3 years.

That's impossible for me to do, so he suggests I could just pay something as tax and I will be given receipt of what I paid for last year and not tax clearance. Because the tax clearance will contain details of how much and paid and for what income . But the ordinary receipt will only show that I paid something last year but won't contain details of my income.

So I am wondering if I should just throw in a receipt than going for clearance .

Company account has about 2m now while personal account has about 1.8m. The budget for the trip is 600,000.

PLEASE advice.

TonyyS:

What state are you in? I think you should tell that guy that you need a personal tax card from the state revenue office. Usually Lagos has its own personal tax card and it’s valid for 5 years or so. The card is a proof that you’re a tax payer and the good thing is that it doesn’t state how much you paid., the embassy will only verify the authenticity of the card from the issuer.

Look at you evading tax payment and after be complaining government didn't do this or that

Anyway don't waste money on the tax receipt cause the ECO won't know what it is and might put you in trouble for tax evasion.

Are your businesses registered? If well calculated, you shouldn't pay more than 500k in a year. You need an account to help you in that area. Not all of your earnings are taxed and you might get some exemptions too.

6 months payslip is required and a letter to show that the cost of travel as covered by funds in his or her bank balance is unencumbered (that is it is not tied to any pending debt he or she needs to clear but rather it is available solely for your travel).

please i need help, i have posted this before but didn't get the response needed. I was denied UK visitor visa in 2013 under 320 7a because of a family photograph(parents and siblings) with a different background and it was seen as altered and deception was implored which was not the case because i had no idea that such a photograph will raise any dust. I was single then. Moving forward 6 years later am married to a Doctor and i have a son who is a U.S citizen. my wife is about to apply for Tier 2 to work as a Doctor in the UK and my son and i are her dependents. I was told that my previous visa denial under 320 7a will or might jeopardize the application Because denials under 320 7a is automatic ground for ban under 320 7b since it involves deception. I don't know how true this is , i was not given a ban, i was single then. As a family man whose circumstances has greatly improved with a wife and son and she is the principal applicant, i would like an expert opinion about this so we don't make any mistakes. we are almost there. Somebody please help !!!!

That is true and your ban will kick in when you apply for visa again.

You can still apply and be completely honest and apologetic about it, hopefully you be forgiven.

Hello house, hope we are good. I want to apply for a visitors visa to UK. Am currently working with the state government with a pay of less dan 50k monthly. Am married with two kids. Hubby has his own personal company. My questions - Do I need to present anything related to my job. Since my Elder brother will be the one sponsoring me with my twin sister abroad. 2. Do I still need to present my statement of account. 3. What are the documents my sponsors need to present. 4. Can my twin sister abroad be my sole sponsor without posing any problem. 5. General advise on how to apply without being refused with little or no salary.

My brother, when you spend close to 600,000 on a truck with will take over 10 days to get a container from the port to a warehouse in Lagos , because of bad road in apapa, you have paid tax to the government.

Because on a normal day it would not cost more than 150k and a day.

That's enough tax.

Folks,
I spotted mistake in the form I filled. And I have submitted it. Hope there's room for correction of mistake at the venue

PLEASE has anybody been denied visa and the embassy stated in the refusal that it was because he or she did not include his tax clearance?

Because I was talking to my property lawyer about tax clearance and he said it's not business of the embassy whether you pay tax or not. And they have no right to deny an application over tax.

I am just confused.

Hello,

I've been a follower here. I just got my visa. My budget is about 2.6x of my monthly disposable income and 2x of my monthly salary plus i had a couple of deposits which were made in January (I clarified this in my cover letter). I guess a key success factor was my disclosure and travel history (Been to UK 3 times in the past). Thanks

Killingmesoftly:


Confirmed!

wow! seems to be complicated and much documents needed if using a sponsor who runs a company.

how about using a sponsor who is a freelance artist (film producer) in the UK. doesn't recieve payslips. but can show bank statements?

It will be almost impossible to get a visa if you can't proof that you have a strong tie to Nigeria

I doubt that will fly, but you can still give it a go and see how it pans out

Hello Helpers,

My wife, daughter and I were issued 6 months visit visa last year which was used appropriately . The application was supported by letter of invitation from my brother who is a UK citizen.

I gussed that my brother is not willing to give us invite this year because he has refused to pick my calls or respond after informing him of my intention to apply for with all my family.

Is it proper to apply without his invite this year? I have the financial capacity to book hotel.

Please advise me on how to handle this case.

Thanks
