Thank you very much. Unfortunately I already opened an account. Would have liked to use your referral link.

Just to confirm please, if the stock dividend exceeds Β£500 for a tier 2 visa holder is that deem as a business with the need to complete a tax assessment?

Also, is that a violation of the visa rule?


Completing a self-assessment and running a business are two completely different things that'll never intersect in this specific context.

Investing in stocks is not 'running a business' so you can invest Β£1 Billion if you have it and make millions in dividends or price appreciation, and it won't be a violation of your visa rules.

Taxes for the dividends depend on your overall income and you pay tax on it as usual with income after you subtract your personal allowance (typically Β£12,570) and also subtract the Β£500 dividend allowance. How you will pay depends on how much it is - here's the HMRC explainer page. You can also call them. The link is in the page - https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-dividends

Youtube videos can also be helpful in breaking it down further.

Well thesame benefit is costing the government a lot and some councils are going bankrupt .They should get back to work and pay into the system, why is that hard for some of them to do?

Maybe I should just mind my African business.

It is not the benefit system that is bankrupting council or the government. Let the rich and the non-doms pay their fair share of tax. Let the government claw back all the fraudulent pay outs for PPEs. This is a target on the sick and disable. The Tories are out of touch.

Rishi is asking questions, other politicians cannot ask.... It's only the tories, that seem to make attempts to chop the benefits system...... I fully stand with Rishi.....

UK benefits system, is massively and grossly abused.......

Remember IDS bedroom tax and other policies IDS implemented (shame he did not cut deeper).......😁

The government needs to protect professionals, so they don't get bullied into issuing flimsy off work sick passes.......πŸ‘

Two things can be true at the same time.

The extremely wealthy need to be tax more, yes.

The benefits system need to be reformed to prevent abuse, yes.

It's way too easy to abuse the system today, and the stats I heard from the speech yesterday actually shocked me, particularly the one about people getting sick notes after assessments going from 20% in 2011 to 65% today. Are people three times sicker now than then? I think not.

I agree with the above, but care needs to be taken with the bolded when it comes to this government. Even before they came into power 14 years ago, the Tories have consistently bashed benefits claimants and although it is a good thing that they have tightened up the benefits system in a lot of ways, the problem is that they tend to go after the low hanging fruit and also treat everyone with the same broad brush, and as a result genuine claimants have been impacted in the past and denied access to the benefits they need and are entitled to. For example, disabled people who had their PIP payments unfairly removed or cut down (some took the government to court and won).

I’m not saying benefit is the only factor but it’s a contributing factor.

These folks are gaming the system. What they do is leave their beard to grow for months without shaving, a void having their bath for a week, put on a dirty cloth then they go to hospital and claim mental health. Boom doctors gives them the clearance and benefit money start pouring.

However, there are people with original mental health problem. By mitigating this loophole the government will save money that can be use for other things.

...
Nurses also used to get bursaries to study which encouraged many into the profession.
If the UK government decides to reinstate the nursing bursaries or subsidise tuition fees for all or some courses e.g. teaching, STEM, medical degrees etc , to address chronic labour challenges in those sectors, then it's in their gift to do so and I don't see why it should be a problem.

Afterall even the Nigerian government, despite the myriad of economic challenges it faces, still manages to subsidise tuition costs for medical degrees.


Interesting there was a big jump in the number of nursing students when the bursary was scrapped. One wonders if a reintroduction would not cause a reversal.

Nigeria subsidizes education (and petrol) at a baseline for every student (not exclusively medical students). Every country has a social budget- the main points are first, what percentage of public money is spent on social interventions. Secondly, what are those social interventions and most importantly is there an equitable and progressive distribution?

I’m happy Rishi is trying to get those on benefits back to work. They have become very lazy and over relying on this benefits and I think it’s unfair to migrants who pay taxes/ IHS with no recourse to public funds.

The benefits system is a maze the drivers might be contentious, but the trend is clear. I remember stating a while back to ask any GP you know how far with fit notes.

2.8 million and rising on longterm sick. Irrespective of the cause, someone has to pay for their welfare. A fast rising significant part of the central and local governments budget goes to social care, state pension and universal credit. Those in affected counties are already feeling it.

Ultimately, the statement by Hunt captures it well- work should pay.

Lol.. the interesting part is going online and seeing folks who typically blame immigrants for everything suddenly start talking about 'punching up' now that the next low hanging fruit is being targeted simply cos the demographic involved here is different. What next? perhaps limiting state pension to only those whose parents were Brits.

An immigrant recently asked me 'what is mental health'. The person don hear am for news tire but didn't comprehend. I tell no worry, after 5 years (ILR) u sef go sabi about mental health.
