Hi. Do we pay this fee when we go for capturing or how do I go about it? I have capturing for this month and I don't know whether I am to bring along the £40 as cash or buy a postal order from the post office before heading for capturing.

@Lexusgs430, is it compulsory to pay a deposit fee before you can get HP car finance

yusufDeveloper:
Thank you for your feedback. Please, if I want to go through accountant. Can you recommend any for me? Can you please check this https://www.1stformations.co.uk/ if they have the option there. I want to assume that the accountant's duty is to help calculate the tax and file it monthly or annually and also provide business address for me.?

Lexusgs430:
Nah loan sharks rates be that o ........😁🤑

5.6% Apr is more appropriate (with squeaky clean credit record).......

Hi guys,

Ilyods bank offered me car financing with two options Higher purchase and PCP. are there any downsides to using the higher purchase offer? I didn't qualify for a personal loan.

Goke7:
you also got to be careful with this stat, not all white British are British by origin, so many were immigrants who became British by citizenship.

Goke7:
the stats here are saying otherwise, look carefully

justwise:
Were you expecting more blacks and other ethnic minorities to be working when they have to face immigration restrictions? Do you know that only British citizens are eligible to apply for certain jobs? Immigrants face so many barriers in job market as compare to white British people

So your stats did not do justice to the argument.

justwise:
Its funny how many of you are shouting average brit paying into the system for year to build the economy... have you all forgotten that immigrants are included in that average brits that build the economy? Just tell me how many generations do you want to go back to?

From India alone, its estimated the UK took $45 trillion dollars in 170 years. Thats aside the over 5 million indians who had to die to support the UK economy. Let's then look at Nigeria and other countries. Not only historically, even today, the UK has continued to drain top resources (brains) from these countries. How much exactly has the average 28 year old Brit + parents contributed?

Hello everyone,

Recently, I was endorsed by Tech Nation for the Global Talent Visa (GTV). I switched from PSW to GTV, but I still had 1 year+ on PSW before I switched. I have a few questions, help and clarification on certain things.

1) Am I entitled to the IHS refund on my previous visa? I have been seeing different posts that only people in care work visas are eligible. I do not know how true it is.

2) Are there any platform I can use for contract work (Outside IR35) ONLY? as I am no longer interested in a fulltime/permanent role. Please recommend apart from the normal one indeed, reed, etc.

3) I am trying to setup a business later this year (still in development mode), but can I register the company directly (https://www.gov.uk/set-up-business) or use of agent such as (https://www.1stformations.co.uk/) is better because I do not have physical/online address that I can use to register my business for now

Thank you 🙂

akanfe30:
They didn't deduct anything as it's a different visa category. Unfortunately, the previous IHS is gone. Remember you chose not to complete the cycle of PSW visa by switching. Lol. Honestly, I wish you could get a refund, and that would be a precedent that can benefit someone I know.

hustla:
I left there until they paid me

About one week

Please who knows any bank that's offering switch bonus? That first direct looks dodgy and the app reviews aren't too good

I am actually talking about sponsorship for those already in the UK

hyzich:
Guys in the house,

Why is it so hard for Accountants in industry to get job with sponsorship? Excluding the big 4's and other top 20 firms that recruits auditors in practice

Lolli2pop:
I have always thought that agents are cheaper than purchasing directly from airline.. is that a misconception??

jesmond3945:
if that is the case, too bad. However, you I will differentiate africans born here from african immigrants. I treat africans born here, the way i treat non africans, caution.

People of God oh. Two things that I need your guide on:

1. I work in a multinational company here in the north(smiles) and they are giving me a credit card in my name and to be delivered to my home. My question is, will this card contribute to my credit score even though it is issued through my employer but in my name and my address. The essence of the card is for me to use any time I want to embark on a journey as an auditor i can also use it to make some purchases as long as it is business related and my employer will be responsible for funding or replenishing it.

2. Marshmallow insurance is asking me to provide my job offer for them to verify the business I do based on the information I provided while filling their policy form. Meanwhile this is coming after 1 month of registration and I have paid like 400 pounds in advance. Now I pay 170 every month for a 2007 honda crv. Do you think I should course their mamas and ask to cancel my policy or I should ignore them. I feel very pained that they are not believing me. They thought everyone is a healthcare worker

gmacnoms:
After so much applications, a few interviews , a lot of rejection mails( even the ones I did not solicit for)

I finally got an employment offer after, less than 2 weeks here in the uk.

I am happy because I have been given an opportunity to start working in a line that I prefer to the others and close to my past work experience.

The applications, rejections and interviews, made it seem like I’ve been job hunting for almost 3 months here in the uk.

To God be the glory

A Quick Question to the Financial Gurus: A friend of mine whose father’s friends has a company in Uk have recently been sending about 10k to 20k£ monthly to his Personal Uk account (from his company’s account) which he changes via lemonade or sometimes sells to students for school fee payment/visa/IHS and then eventually send the equivalent in naira to Nigeria. He wants to know if he will be liable on tax on such money.

Hello bro, I’m also considering getting chartered. Though I Started ICAN in Nigeria and still in Skills with 2 papers left.
May I ask if you started your ACCA in UK?
I have checked the fee online and it looks much 😂.
Would you advise I continue my ICAN in UK and probably convert to ACCA later using my ICAN. Or make I just close eyes start ACCA here from the foundation level for those with Bsc. Accounting.

Thanks

Knowlegeseeking:
Thank you Goke for your input.

Yes I am good with numbers but this audit life "af tired me"😭.

One of the reasons I want to switch is because I want a role that affords me flexible working ( hybrid) which this audit has not allowed me enjoy. Shuttling between office and client site.

So while studying, I worked (still work) with a smaller audit firm on a part time basis and they have hinted on retaining me after graduation. However, I don't like the pay they are offering simply because I am not chartered yet. The big 4 I worked with while in Nigeria has scared me because Omo, I worked like jacky.

I want soft life now. I'm considering continuing with the firm here in the UK but I'm scared of the workload and since I am not chartered yet, they may want to downplay the pay.

I'm just trying to explore other career options (Business analyst) I can do with my experience.

Also, I am tired of writing exams😭. I don't mind doing short courses and all. I have just been reluctant with finishing my ACCA

Bottomline is I am confused on how to move forward in my career. I need help!
