Those 2 years of PSW previously didnt count to residency and somehow people hussled the work visa for 5 years and naturalised . Especially if they can bring back HSMP that didnt tie you to an employer

Ohh ohh, never knew that. Abeg what was the HSMP

The 2 year PSW is a ‘dead end’ route.
It has ALWAYS been like that.

The Australian-style PBS is a different kettle of fish.

Never knew. We wait and see.

The Australia PBS both UK and US are just making as a benchmark reference is currently very very difficult to get. If they promise us Canada style then I am all in......

The Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) was a scheme from 2002 until 2008, that was designed to allow highly skilled people to immigrate into the United Kingdom to look for work or self-employment opportunities.

There were many online calculators to use and the younger you were the better but I dont think it was that difficult. You needed 75points to get in. I was on like 90 point for initial and renewal so 75 was very much achievable, .... maintain it for 4 years and ILR next....it was later changed to 5 years then ILR . ....by 2008 the government's start remixing it and it never became the same again and was cancelled. Aunty May policy then became about reducing net immigration so she removed almost everything removable .... although I can see why non EU people flooded hsmp then coupled with more countries added to EU in 04 and 07

To claim expenses from who? From your company? I believe if you can provide evidence on the bank statement or emailed receipts, that should be sufficient. Who wants to be looking through papers. Anyways follow your accountant's lead oooo

Ohh, thanks for the explanation. Why cant they bring the HSMP back then? It seems more immigration friendly than other Point based system because you can easily get ILR after a certain period.

Will vote for any party promoting that grin grin

Of course- if there’s ever any wrong deductions that would be paid back- the issue is how they will ascertain that the deduction is wrong, when they did not put blackbox in my bag to be following me around grin

Just pray you never ever have an inquiry, even how much you are left to feed with will be assessed. receipts will be picked at random and you will be asked to explain the journey and how it relates to business. If its a client then you will have to show the invoice or where you billed the client. they will pull out an audit trail from where you visited the client - invoice- payment received and how you accounted for it in your returns. Then all the non business expenses will be put back plus interest and you will be billed. you can always appeal.

We once had a client who used a helicopter to pick up his son from a private school in Kent and he put it throught the books, the IR threw it out but he appealed and won. He was going to see a client and stopped over to pick his son. he was one of our craziest clients.

shocked
Some people get mind sha. I met someone who dies not keep receipts. He said his accountant discarded them when he first gave it to her and she said he didn't need them. She also helped him reduce his tax liability from about 20k to less than 10k. I just told myself to keep doing what I am doing. He is British and so will not be kicked out even if found out but I don't want HMRCs wahala. He laughed at me for collecting receipts but I don't mind.

I watched that debate live.

As for your question:
Answer is;
YES!
I am still voting for the tories (on this occasion), because the alternative would be to vote in a Far left communist. Alternative would be to vote in a Corbyn who can’t even say what his position on BreXit is.

He said he will be neutral if there is a new referendum. I don’t understand the man and his party. Making promises like APC.
Said he will renegotiate a new deal within 3 months and then hold a referendum on the deal. How does this make sense?
Tories are clueless as well but the new immigration system is a plus for me and I am voting them because of that.
Although my region is predominantly a Labour region; so the vote might not count .

Very true.
Labour be campaigning like APC. Punctuating every statement with ...”10 years of Tories...10 years of Tories...” same way APC was bombarding us about ‘16 years of PDP’
