She is coming home because she didn't get employed and I I am very sure that she will never go into farming on her return to Nigeria.

You are correct, she lied on paying jncome tax, one cannot pay income tax without income, you see? Some of these social media attention seekers tell so much lies just for attention.


Why did she not stay on PAYE in the first place?

Until we see her farming in her village all these rubbish are still attention seeking.


Yes, you are totally correct, the UK is jammed packed with doctors, nurses and other medical proffessionals from India, Pakistan, Naigerria, Philipine, Thailand and Cambodia seeking for work.
A locum Dr doesn't have a regular income and no regular employment contract. So they usually open a company where their wages are paid. At the end of the year, they hire a tax man who will audit their income less work expenses and work out the tax due hmrc. So it appears that she didn't get the tax man to do her books, hmrc could just slam her with a penalty.

Council taxes are charged per quarter, bi-annual or annually. However, for most people it is divided into 12 and paid monthly via direct debit or cheques.
£1,500 can never ever be for a month No, not even inside Kensington, Buckingham or Windsor palaces.

I saw where she added income tax to the list of her debt profile. Is it possible for a person to be charged for income tax even when it's obvious that you're yet to secure a job?

I keep telling people that the UK is overcrowded. I know dozens of people who rushed there and are currently doing their second masters because they couldn't secure a job.

Nigerian land area is bigger than the UK. And the UK has people from all over the world trooping there for greener pastures. You can imagine how crammed up it's going to be.
Land mass doesn't mean development or availability of jobs or anything. overcrowded state is mostly a sign of development and work or business attraction and productivity. Newyork is over crowded but they have ways to utilise the small land mass to effectively help everyone live comfortably and productively.

The desert is not overcrowded cos it is barren.

i See, so what happened was that the tax man assumed earnings has been made? hence the demand for income tax. If that was the case she should have informed HMRC that there was no income. (One can do these things themselves without an accountant) Is it also that, she made income but not a enough to pay tax on but still have to fill in an income tax file regardless otherwise she gets fined for not filling. I see. But filling is done yearly, (every March) she could not have been fined until the year runs out, unless for past year/years.


I believe if she was on a PAYE she wouldn't find it hard getting a job, co's she would not be seen as a self employed doctor, self employed doctors i assume demands for more pay.

I believe her case is that she got scared. The tax office set a bar for her to reach and she is not too strong or too healthy to reach it and she knows it so she quit. You see these taxations are calculated way before you start what you are doing. For example it’s like council tax ? When you move into a house the next day or two they have sent you a council tax bill of 1500 pounds. You haven’t even lived in the house upto 2 days you already have 1500 pounds billing . It’s same with Locum. As you set up your company dem done calculate based on your profession how much you will earn and dem done send you taxation billing of tens of thousands of pounds. So now you have to go out and produce. It’s scary especially if you are lazy or unhealthy . So she quickly dissolve her company to end the billing. But I suspect she is not very driven and that’s OK.

Now technically had she paid the tens of thousands in taxation but she didn’t make enough ? Then the tax refund kicks in and she gets refunded some money

Out of how many Medical Doctors over there? Some of them will go there and make it and some will not make it. It's good to commit our ways into God's hand most times. Because it's about our profession or what we know but by the grace of God.

The useless and irredeemable cursed leadership back home have not helped matters. So what is the way out? Leave the nation for these rogue and criminal politicians?
Tbh, these comments aren’t the kind of comments I’m expecting. I’m expecting comments like “ohh my God, she’s just stupid, abroad that is like heaven how dare she say she wants to come to Nigeria” “don’t worry, come back home and face poverty, hunger, death, and sadness”

Ahah, what has changed on Nairaland

You are totally correct. Makes so much sense.


It can be scary. I remember when i dabbled into runing barber shop in South London. I was adviced to register, in the end i started getting these scary letters from HMRC. I wasn't even making that much. In the end i wanted to shut down the shop quickly but someone else bought me out. I had to inform HMRC in writting that i am no longer the own of the business. It is not an easy thing running a business in the UK, if it was many people would do it. The UK tax system expecially on business can be very complicated, it isn't a straightforward system hence many who understands it could dodge taxes and the ones who do not understand it pays for it. this is where the accountants who could charge up to £100 an hour comes in.

This recent taxation and VATs are way too extortionate. My council tax just went up. I ve already got their bloody letter. Water bills has also gone up by %44. It has become too expensive to live in England, just only in England. Wales and Scotland are still very reasonable to live in.

It has become very very very expensive, it wasn't like this 25 years ago. But yet many people from Africa, India, Bangladesh, Thailand and Philipines wants to go live in the UK. It is only in England though Scotland and Wales are still reasonably okay to live in.

The funny thing is, one could accept to dispose their trash themselves but still must pay council tax, some councils even charges for excess rubbish. The idea of council tax was introduced by Mrs Magareth T.

Your UK is OVERATED. Plus immigrants, England is not even up to 100 million. Government says you've been living fake life, you dont want to accept it.

Yet Nigerians have been living a life of importing almost everything while government borrows to subsidize your life. Its time to be a PRODUCER. No more importation of EVERYTHING and expecting government to SUBSIDIZE it.

Unfortunately, it will be diverted. It's like when these councils come knocking on shops and demanding for their tax payments, but the very street they are standing on is a complete write off. The average Nigerian will be reluctant to pay because there is no evidence of the money they are being made to vomit.

I gladly pay my LAWMA bills because it is now privatized and they are performing. We are now being charged for services rendered. Before we switched to prepaid meters, paying power bills was an exercise in impotent rage because we were being forced to pay for darkness, and for this reason we never paid the bills in full, but now that we are on prepaid meter, all that is history.

This country will work if there is accountability and judicious use of our resources
