Thanks, you either missing important information or do not know much about FIRS, as new company you have 18 months from the date you start operating to file account statement which means 1yr 6 months, so if you request for tax clearance cert. during this period it's issued free with all figures NIL, i got this since feb, stating my commencement date- expiry date. However such company like others must remit their VAT monthly (5% of all service fee earned), and withholding tax if applicable.

AZUH:
Fakmurphy it's upto you ' someone did it on France embassy and got his visa but it's was a family vacation' I don't believe you neither how can you open a company account and don't run it ?which bank did it for you ? And you still going to firs office every month to fill NIL . Meaning you registered the company name to get a visa and your company doesn't exist . Just I pray you have someone at firs to save you because sometimes they won't allow you to pay tax with just invoice . They will want to see your account statement .Pls take your time to read previous post on this section .so long you're doing the business you can have your supporting document to show . It doesn't mean if your company is just one month ...9month old company should have evidence of transactions .

I do not think i can follow your advice, I have bank account for the firm.

AZUH:
@fakmurphy yes you can if you have your self assessment tax . Did you open the company account ? That is another problem . If you did don't add it .

1m shares, shared 500,000 between me and my wife.

AZUH:
@fakmurphy , is it 1,000,000 share or 500,000 shares ?

You mean that i registered the firm? Nov 2015.

AZUH:
@fakmurphy how many months ? Is it more than 6 months ?

does NIL has any -ve implication? claiming some source of income from my company?

askari01:
Your company is less than a year... Nil will be written on it.

@askari what about a company that is less than a year, and i have the tax clearance certificate "NIL'' written on it. I paid VAT 4 months because i render services and do get commission on it sometimes.

askari01:
Japanboy, UK application looks hard to couple but very simple once you can provide what is required. You shot yourself in the leg by not providing the following-

1. Business registration CAC
2. Tax Clearance Certificate
3. An account that carries MAybach & co
4. No link inform of transfer from MAybach account to your personal to prove you have access, tht 1million u claimed you receive as ur monthly pay doesn't come from the MAybach account.
5. No letter from the bank which states you are the sole signatory to the accounts.
6. Receipts and invoices were not submitted.
7.Marriage certificate and child birth certificate

Submitting any fake document from the above listed might get you into serious trouble, Go with ur two statement of accounts to the FIRS office around you for tax evaluation... pay your company tax and personal tax.. it's gonna be expensive but try to pay accordingly, don't let anyone deceive you to pay less amount, they have experts in the embassy who knows how to calculate tax, Your tax must commensurate with your claimed income. Once you can get all these docs right, you can get any visa @ any embassy with your documents. Don't hesitate to ask more question on here. May God help you.

I do put Nigeria Immigration Service......i do not think there is a standard formula for this and you should not be worried too much

soulhighman:
Thanks a lot sir.

Only the student would be interviewed,dependants will only give their biometrics

elope:
where will depebdants applying be?

Only the student would be interviewed,dependants will only give their biometrics.

The interview would be done same day you submit you application at the centre.
Tier 4 applicants would be called into a conference room one after the other, there would be an officer waiting on the video chat (Not in person)[code][/code] via something like skye, you be asked to put on the headphone and type your CAS number to the chat, you will then be asked few questions.I think the normal processing time is 1-2 weeks, you should be contacted by email.

Whatamidoinghere:
Very helpful, thanks
How many days does it takes to get the Visa stamp after paying and submitting documents?
And can the interview be done one week after making payment?

Thanks

justwise:
They usually do.

That's not something to worry about. It's like Skype video interview @the submission centre.
How did you find the school
Who is paying your fee
Why did you choose the course
What's your plan after the course
Etc

The second answer; The three days conference will take my business to a new level, it's conference and exhibition where real estate marketing software, tools and app would be displayed by over 400 technological companies. I want to explore these,learn what is new and new things. so for clarification, ACC A (SAVINGS) has 1.5m, B (current) 450k,Apart from fixed deposit and company's acc

@ jUSTWISE Thanks for your response, the 1.5 is in my savings and fixed is more than 10times that amount

justwise:
Personally I think that you can't afford this 3 days conference. You will be left with almost nothing after the trip.

The 1.5m in fixed deposit is not available to you for the trip.

So the question is..how will this 3 days conference help your business considering the cost?

So Apparently i will have 3 times the total cost in each of my acc by then

In reality a parking ticket will not affect your visa.
If you say no and it does come up that is fraud and bad JuJu!

nairacountry:
Get a registered audit firm to do the filling for you. If you are in Abuja, I can connect you with a competent one.

Do you want to run a 6months basis account system? Advisable to make it a yearly thing. In your case, you have options of either February to March every year or Jan - Dec. So practically you can't have a year record till say this Oct and you can still operate for next 6months (April 2017) before you must (compulsory) fill your first CITax and eduTax

Ok thanks I'm meeting a consultant today,my office is in Ibadan I'm trying to apply next month for 2yrs

Hi everyone, i am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but would be delighted for your assistance.

I'm trying to sort out my company's tax and kind of confused about it, i have looked on FIRS website and the calculation thing just didn't add up, i also checked their list of tax accredited consultants and i have been in contact with one guy in Ibadan but am not sure of what to expect.

My company is A Real Estate firm, incorporated in NOV. 2015 but started operation with bank account stuff in march 2016.

Thanks for your assistance and referral.

That will not help your application by any chance.

Thanks God bless you

justwise:
1.As many as you can confidently support with paper evidence

2. Both but importantly corporate one.

The more useful documents you submit the better.

Thanks for your help,so i should print statement from Saving (A) with nothing left in it?

justwise:
1. July is not a bad time to apply.

2. Your business registration documents, property documents, business, savings and current account documents, marriage certificate and family pictures.

3. You can go for 2 years if you are frequent traveler to the UK or planned on doing so.

4. All the taxes you pay on your income

Thanks, so much, if i must submit property documents....like how many would be sufficient?
which tax should i go for? corporate tax? or personal income tax? Because my current account bears all construction projects transfers before i got the company acc and even after then?
