Please after how many months will I be tax free after getting to the Uk?

semmyk:
If the rental provider or landlord provide a cc facility (link, scan, QR ...), why not if not. Simple response, it's a YES.
However, if not, and the transaction will be treated as cash, TREAD CAUTIOUSLY!

Thank you…

Zahra29:
Not a good idea if you're withdrawing cash from your credit card to pay your rent, as any cash withdrawals are noted on your file (even if settled quickly) and will impact your credit score and history

Nope

Lexusgs430:
Does your estate agent accept CC payment .............

hustla:
I was initially doing 25% when I asked

... but then I didnt want to run into issues so i reduced to 15 and now I am looking at 7 - 10%. As long as my score goes up, I really dont care for the limit increase

£1,000 is okay for a student who wants to learn the ropes

Can one use Cc to pay house rent and payback almost immediately just to boost credit score and usage?

How true is this that RS is considering increment of tax?

#Noted , thanks

AlphaUno:
Your personal allowance on your taxable income can be shared between the two jobs. It happens a times (50:50, 60:40, 70:30 etc or anyhow HMRC deem fit)

Oh thanks for this

phyl123:
If you have to give up one of these jobs, which one would you give up?
Which ever one you chose to give up , pick as your second job.

Both are around the same range then what do you think I should set as the criteria in this scenario to choose main job? thank you

phyl123:
You can only claim your personal allowance in one of the jobs, the other one will have the BR code which will mean more tax.

Your best bet is to choose the high income job as your main job..

And that Lexusgs430 must be driven by force

One is requires physical strength while the other is mental strenght.

And na food I wan use am chop oo, so na instant gratification

Lexusgs430:
That mansion in Nigeria, must be completed (by force & fire)..........

But, nah person wey strength remain, go either live for the house or leave the house ..........

Please kindly explain in lame man terms why additional?

hustla:
Additional billing due to tax code change

Good day Sir/Ma, looking at the issues been discussed on tax, please hope there is no issues having two full time jobs.

God bless Amarathripple0 for some sites she shared few weeks/months ago on job search even though I didn’t benefit directly in getting a job but the resume creator on “App dot Otta dot COM” which she shared was helpful and helped landed several interviews in Nigeria and finally a job in the Uk barely less than a month I got here…

God bless the Uk Nigeria Family on Nairaland from Grandpa Lexus, GrandMa Ticha, and to everyone contributing one way or the other

NB: please what is happening oo, pounds is 844 on lemonade, is it’s a good sign for PM RS

Lexusgs430:
£20 * ₦800 = ₦16,000 (for a haircut), that would last only one week .............

Welcome to the youkay.........

Buy this cordless clipper, use your head as the guinea pig....... Eventually, practice would make perfect.......

Yes you can, Not all IT jobs requires knowledge of maths. I will advise you start courses on IT Support/Desktop Support. Go and enroll for this two courses on coursera “Google IT Support” and “IBM Technical Support” then after the two of them take CompTIA ITF or A+ … with the above well learnt, you are ready for an Entry level job but even though the probability of getting sponsorship with this skills is low but you can easily get a job if you travel. Create a LinkedIn profile once you have those certifications I stated above and be hopeful of God’s grace.

NB: you can also get a Cloud Certification too Either Microsoft Azure, Amazon Cloud or IBM cloud.

badtlimo:
please what about someone who has never been in the field while In school. I’m currently a political science student in the university and I don’t know math … is it something I can still learn ??

IT money is one of the sweetest money out there, More of brain work, one sweet thing about it is you don’t retire, the older the wine, the better it is. I.e more experience, more money . A friend we both graduated has never worked for almost 10yrs now, he devoted a year to data analysis and perfected understanding many data analytic applications since then he has has been chopping money from fiverr and now even remotely works for a company off the coast. Oil Dey your head my brother

Dailyparrot:
I signed up for the ALX Software Development program few months back and I am willing to see to the conclusion of the program.

It is someone that has not eaten IT money that will feel there is any time too much to devote to learning IT programs.

When Fiverr was booming for me, there were times I earned over 800k per month with less stress.

The picture I have on Bolt is the one I took when I was still earning very well on Fiverr. I was looking robust with fat cheek and all. Most riders will see me and say that the picture they are seeing is different from the person they are looking at, I will just shove that away but deep down, I'm hurting.

It seems to me like moving from Grace to grass. My friend just sold about $900 from his Fiverr earnings at the price of 710/$. Do the maths and tell me how long I would need to drive on Bolt to earn that.

I went for Bolt inspection and I was told to repaint my bumpers and remove my car seat because it's torn.

I repainted for 12k, bought the car seat for 32k (leather) and changed my AC filter plus gas for 7k. That's 51k spent in less than two days. That's not inclusive of the 20k I paid to VIO and other miscellaneous expenses on the car.

So, even if I net 300k on Bolt, I am spending 100k plus on the car even though my car is not a problematic one.

A software engineer will earn in a month, what you earn in a year. It is a program that is worth it if you can find time to drive for just four hours in a day just to pay bills.

I can connect with anyone who's interested in pursuing this course so we do it as a team.

So no be only me Dey feel like this

Chreze:
If I tell you say I have been on this site since two days trying to cover pages I missed you no go believe. If you no read am you go just de feel say them don talk something wey de important to you and your family.

You really need to check ALX websites and see the amount of graduates they get after each batch even though as you stated a lot quit on the way but about 30% do make it

deedee44:
Even people with zero responsibilities will still fail to catch up with the time requirement. It's like saying you will start lecture by 8am/9am and end by 6pm/7pm everyday for 365 days weekends inclusive. It's not realistic

Then how are those doing it doing it? It is trust me, the 10hrs doesn’t have to be at a stretch and also it’s not live classes, it has to do with watching videos and reading materials for the course then you take up weekly task, it’s a bit flexible. A skills such as software engineer will stand the end of time and I can assure anyone who learnt it well of soft life after that one year. Software engineers are among shortage lists of occupation in third one country. Getting this course for free is already a bonus as many pay hundred to a thousand of dollars for such certification.

deedee44:
There's no how you can compare time spent working on bolt to time spent learning a skill, earning on bolt may be the only way to survive but learning a skill is and will always be a choice/an option. It is normally not feasible to learn for 10 hrs a day for a year, let us be honest with ourselves, It is almost impossible

Let me drop a motivational speech even though am yet to arrive at where I want.

2021was really a crazy year for me as rabbit farmer for over 2years as the business that was raking me hundred of thousands of naira was affected seriously by a VIRUS (RHD Virus) so I lost almost 80% of my rabbits that were over 150 so after all ways to get a vaccine prove abortive, I decided to quit and do bolt as two of my neighbors in the same compound were doing bolt as at that time and they encouraged me, I was having a Toyota Sienna which was also used to distribute rabbit feeds as I was a sole distributor for Bella rabbit farms in Lagos, I didn’t have much to buy a car for bolt so I started by registering my sienna for InDriver, I did that for about 2months and was only moving in between the mainland especially around areas I know traffic situation, at the end I concluded that ehailing was a profitable business, I sold my sienna , sold two of my galvanized cage and got an Hyundai elantra (toks) a dealer friend at 1.7 in which I paid 1.2 and promised to balance the 500k in two months. Then July 2021 I started ehailing (bolt) officially and I was welcomed with surge, I made almost almost 700k as gross in my first month, mind you bolt percentage was still just 15%. So I was happy and vowed to make a large undisclosed sum by the new year to invest into a business..,

Na so the business start, I worked like a jackal even though I would sleep at home as I had a wife and a daughter even during those 6months , I was hardly there for them as I would leave he early and come back late (not later than 12midnight) except for December period where I would work till early morning, I was even lucky to be among those who pick 3.5 surge early morning of January 1st and worked till morning.

To cut long story short, I was thinking of what to invest in by January as I was having some millions in my account so i used some for forex and crypto, lost some, won some around April a friend who had travelled to Uk holla and told me he was getting it right as the loan he took for the travelling with his two kids and wife has been paid and he is hoping to pay his wife school fee balance. That moment I considered traveling and started admission for my wife we got that in May the other processing started, at that time Ramadan fasting came so I wasn’t driving and even try to get some one to drive my car.

During the last 10 days I spent in solitude in the mosque as the Muslim religion permits, I was able to make up my mind and said I was going into IT as I didn’t want to do a career job in the Uk so I started with free courses on coursera via Financial Aid, I was living on the money I had saved and also processing the travelling, bought enough data, fuel and was learning like crazy, by the time we would leave for Uk 4months later, I already had cert with Google, IBM, Microsoft, Amazon which were purposely targeted as I had gone through their job websites and learnt about certification that really matters.

Now in the Uk with a plenty offers for jobs as an IT support but am still cherry picking looking for an offer with a sponsorship Visa and still learning like mad. Bagging certification and all.

Like I said above I haven’t arrived where I want but I just want to encourage us that Planning, Sacrifice and Discipline are great tools to success. And nothing is not doable if you know where you are going and plan accordingly..

Apologies for the long write Up

God bless!!!.

Wrong conclusion everywhere, Same excuse most of you were saying while cheerfulgiver keep hitting it hard. Keep finding excuses , It is well… if you need evidence of those who are married with responsibility finishing the course, contact me.

73O9:
Programmes like these are for people with no responsibilities, hence spending such time wouldn't be hard to them.

If it’s not doable, I won’t bring here, just be plain and say I can’t do it, stop making wrong conclusion for everyone, I have many who work 8 to 5pm minus traveling time, extra work from office and still finished. in life you can’t be great without making sacrifices and everyone have what they are willingly to make sacrifice for and becoming a developer isn’t one for you . Did it come easy for you moving from rentals to owner, how many months or years/ discipline did you sacrifice for that? Enjoy Driving

ReadaDream:
Easy to say. Out of 24hrs, take away 7hrs of rest/Sleep, 10hrs of Bolt works 6-4pm, where is the extra 10hrs for Software programming training going to come from?

That course is only meant for someone still eating 'mama thank you'. Anybody with full responsibility can't do it. You will wear out, you will drop out. We are not talking of two months training, One full year!

No tutorials than to ginger up read and understand materials.

obinoral1179:
make I Dm for link and tutorials

Person wey know wetin e Dey find no go see am as big deal… Software engineer no small for this world oo, if you see how much there are been paid, you wouldn’t say such, how much time do you devote for bolt? Most likely 10hrs or above. This is the battle between instant gratification versus future gratification.

ReadaDream:
I got accepted for the scholarship in April, I got discouraged because of the time needed. 70hours weekly means I have to dedicate at least 10hrs daily for it.

Shey because say na free make I come kill myself.

For anyone who has passion for IT and willingly to devote time, check out ALx free one year software engineering program. I would have dropped the link but make nairaland no go block me.


NB: You will not be able to meet up bonuses oo as this program will gulp about 70hours of your time weekly. But Trust me it’s a skills wanted by many countries and May aid your JAPA


Ciao Amigos.

Any one with any name of university that take in someone with a 3rd class and don’t ask for IELTS for January Intake. asking for a friend.
