Not required to notify HMRC when you get a first or second job, it's your employer's responsibility to do that when they payroll you. Regarding HMRC messing up their calculations, they dont need anyone's help to do that. Each time I change jobs I always cringe when its time for my first pay because they generally mess up my tax code and set the estimated income at some outlandish figure.

Maybe I didn't put it clearly enough initially.

You are required to declare a first job while completing the NI information form which is required for your second job. The details are sent to HMRC who them reverts to you with the appropriate tax code for that second job.

In another instance, if one didn't declare that first job, one can clarify directly with HMRC so that the appropriate tax code is applied and outstanding fees (under deduction of tax) paid.

Failure to do either would lead to a brown envelope from HMRC with debt to pay back and et al as I noted earlier.

We don't need to do a back and forth on this as I have people that do two jobs.

In my experience not all fans have the same power. I've used this fan for years, I also have a portable Aircon unit but I haven't used it in a while.

I want to believe what you meant by 'power' is the capacity of the fan to move air (humid air) faster, thereby giving some limited satisfaction analogous to having to smell your favourite dish and not being able to actually eat it.

You dey under fan but you still dey feel hot

AC is the only answer to this heat wave!

Simple, no gimmicks fan, but very powerful and durable.

What's really special about this your fan? Would it convert the heat to ice pellets?
Most fans are powerful and durable, they would only circulate same hot air.

Recommend a cost-effective fan Biko. i cant sleep last night.

10 fans won't save you oo... Two are blowing me right now and it's oven breeze they are delivering

Only portable AC would save you! We have one, but madam keeps discouraging me from switching it on. I don't want to know her reason and I no get power to use am, 'alone'.

Lexusgs430:
When HMRC sends you a brown envelope demand, due to underpayments, hope you would be equally pleased........ 🤣😜

That mostly happens where one has a second job and didn't notify HMRC, thereby incorrect tax deductions are made due to wrong tax code. Not only would the brown envelope be debt, but penalty fees may be required or added and/or even face prosecution for tax evasion. You go explain taya!

Hi.
Your visa decision will be sent through email or until you get hold of the physical passport?

It depends... Personally, I tracked my application status online and kept checking when I expected an outcome, till it landed. Others may have gotten an update via email or phone, not sure.

I don't know what methods they use these days. I'd recommend you check the TLS page for the latest info.

kumbhuru:
You will agree with me that majority of them are being toxic.

Was I toxic or envious of you, mate?

Safe flight!

Born2conquer:
Thank you for this, I tried it yesterday. Unfortunately, I no know sey my housemate don use the knife slice pepper and onions earlier.

My eyes be wan blind

Your housemate used the knife to cook, dumped it (and other items) without washing and tidying and you went ahead to use the same knife without also washing before use.

Are you a female?

Lexusgs430:
If you're buying it via legitimate routes, you have nothing to worry about.......

Some people are falling prey to the likes of John, at the pub.......

Ah, I see... I don't want to believe that those getting it from the back door do so entirely out of ignorance. They probably deserve the consequences.

Lexusgs430:
A word of advice for people seeking cheap vehicle insurance.......

Avoid using agents, it would always end up in tears........😭😭😭

You would lose your money + have a CIFAS marker on your credit report + if you're unlucky to get stopped by the police, you would appear before a magistrate........

Chief, how do you mean cheap? Cheap, expensive are both relative.

I'd be getting one in a couple of weeks and just need you to clarify and shed more light as I'm already comparing quotes on confused dot com et al.

BouharryArtikou:
Honestly speaking, there are three people on this thread I would really really really love to meet:
Zahra29
MissJekyll
Justwise

Kill that love, mate

Zahra29:
Or maybe I'm just a loyal citizen.

My hand is not paining me lol. Working from home so I have enough gas in the tank.

I'm also a loyal citizen na, even more loyal than you

You highlighted the question but carefully didn't answer it... Typical of politicians!

Zahra29:
I agree with the bolded, which is why I stated that most migrants and black people in general have it much easier today, although there will always be progress to be made.

Australia and some other countries are even more expensive than the UK. E.g. In Australia, immigrants have to pay school fees for their children. Education is free here within compulsory school age.They also have to undergo medical tests which affects the premium of the health insurance they have to purchase. In the UK, every immigrant pays more or less the same to access unlimited NHS treatment whether they are fit as a fiddle or have diagnosed/undiagnosed conditions.

I think recent data showed that around 95% (or thereabouts) of recent immigrants are on health and care visas, which means they and their families do not pay IHS. Even those in NHs admin roles are exempted. So the cost to them is a great deal less than £19k for the same size family.

The passion you have for 'anything' UK is unrivalled! Typing volumes back to back!!! Hand no dey pain you? I get back from work and I am gassed out!!!

Are you with the government?

Jamesclooney:
Please make Una no spoil me oo. Abeg I’m a vagin…100%…if you want you can test it

How do one test an adult male virginity?

Thewritingnerd:
Or going totally child-free 🏃🏽‍♀️

I won't blame anyone that opts for this, cos it's not just about the fees involved, but also the full commitment required, both time, resources, energy etc.

Zahra29:
I plead the 5th 😂

But medically speaking lol, if the woman has a regular cycle and tracks her dates, and the man is "on high alert", especially during those dates, then no problemo.

You are changing the goal post.

The context of the certainty of the withdrawal not being a 100% is during a woman's ovulation period and not the converse. If it's the converse (that is when she's even likely to not take in even if baba launch), then there's a possibility of a close to 100%.

Zahra29:
Erm, not true 😌 lol

Hehehe, I thought you only do politics...

Anyways, there is a 100% certainty if the man/men in question is/are sterile

Your moniker is that of a female. What's your gender? Male, female, trans, others, prefer not to say...

Lexusgs430:
I don't know about you, but me no dey fit withdraw (but luckily for me, madam don cut rope)........🤣😂

The cold too much to be able to fully withdraw within a split second of launch time

I don't think any man living has the ability to withdraw with a 100% certainty. As for me, na other more reliable family planning measures we adopt. After madam drop the second one, we are done!

Lexusgs430:
Nobody would teach you before you subconsciously engage proper family planning or perfect your withdrawal game .........🤣😜

This guy!
Does that game really work? There's no perfection there jare

kumbhuru:
Answer my question bish

What does that mean?

missjekyll:
Goodluck to you ,my friend. Keep us posted.

Money paid back in full!

The lesson here is to lend wisely and not emotionally.

idee91:
Greetings everyone,

What do you advise, I wanted to renew my rent contract, but Landlord is suggesting i don’t need to extend, as the contract automatically goes into a rolling contract after 12 months. Do you think I should insist on getting a new contract ?

It usually rolls over.

No need for all the initial bruhaha with renting.

America001:
Duly noted. Does it mean I'll have to wait until my baby turns 3 before she starts school?

You don't have to wait if you have the wherewithal to have her in a childminder or nursery. Otherwise, you'd be waiting. Either ways, you'd pay some money until she turns four.

Having a child here is full time work and massive budget until they of course turn three and over.

Lexusgs430:
It might be a faceless forum, but people could still reach out to each other, by dropping telephone numbers/or alternative contact details........ Of course, this is subject to the personalities involved.........

Some of us don't only chat to Nairalanders on Nairaland, we still chat via WhatsApp or telephone calls (even meet up when occasion warrants).....

Some of us cannot all be introverts or a strange mix of been extroverted......😂😁

Chief Lexusgs430! Your energy on here is on steroid

Anyways, the point is that now that it matters, people cannot reach out to Justwise to confirm if he's OK, even you... A whole arusi like you

Mamatukwas:
So after many years of being on this thread, NO ONE! Not a single person, knows Justwise personally and can come and tell us if he’s okay? We should be ashamed of ourselves

I find myself randomly hoping he’s okay. He’s never disappeared this long before.

We should be ashamed of ourselves if this is the likes of facebook, twitter, WhatsApp, LinkedIn etc. Don't juxtapose them.

The much anyone can do in a faceless forum is to shout out or send a dm, which really has little to no impact. Justwise is quite known (anonymously) and that's it. Chitty-chattying doesn't really mean we know ourselves personally. Even if you feel you know someone, you don't really know them enough to be privy to certain info.

We can only but hope he's alright wherever he may be.

missjekyll:
Your advice has been received and filed in the nearest compost . Any other words of wisdom to share. This employer that is shacking you like dis, are you 12?

Message passed, Missjekyll!

Just move on and don't stir things up.

missjekyll:
He ll be calling you a Arrow ,next. Dude must have lived all his life on the politics thread.

Nah, he won't, I'm sorry!

kumbhuru:
Thank you much . Why do you say I should not take Nigeria lessons please. Anyways, I've paid for lessons in Nigeria already and they're taking me on manual drive. I was told manual vehicles are still in fashion over there.
My concern remains, the paper, temporary license given, would that be tenable over there because I'm sure the main license can never be ready before I leave as my start date is June.

The culture of driving here and in Nigeria is totally different, and since you have been fully booked for some lessons here, why the lessons in Nigeria. Unlearning that driving attitude here is difficult and a lot of work is involved.

Yes, manual transmission vehicles are well in fashion here, but I'm pro-automatic.

I am sure you'd be needing both your DL and international licence here. I'm also sure temporary or paper won't cut it. I'm not quite sure there is a provision for 'picking your licence by proxy'. Confirm and if it's possible, then have someone pick in your stead and DHL here to you.

kumbhuru:
They're all haters, I'm not so dumb to know about what you've stated. This is my 14th year on nairaland.com soao I know what these dumbskulls are capable of.
I stated a case and they decided to take the most irrelevant part and amplify it. It's hatred, jealousy, bad belle and pull him down syndrome.

The picture is totally clearer to me now! But please, stop using the 'vulgar' words. I understand your angle, the abuse isn't necessary. If you don't like the tone of someone's comment, just ignore and pass. That's what I do and if you must respond, don't always abuse people. When you reply everyone in life and abuse them, you tend to distract yourself from relevant things and burn energy doing that.

Now, we have established you have some basic driving skills and there is a full driving lesson already booked here in the UK to enable you learn to drive here (totally different from driving in Nigeria. Don't take any lessons in Nigeria), secure your licence and continue to 'drive safely'. What other things do you need to know? I just passed my theory test and preparing for my practical driving test. Totally different culture (and way way safer) to driving in Nigeria!

kumbhuru:
Another hater has arrived, all your negative predictions can never come to pass, I'm sorry to burst your daydreaming imagination. It can't come to pass, you frustrated soul

Kumbhuru, take it easy! No one knows you or anyone else here (some may have met offline and in-person). The fact is no one hates you or is jealous of you, your profession or visa!

I don't think anyone here would encourage you to tell lies in your interview and encourage you to continue to do so or watch you venture into driving here (or anywhere else) which comes with its own attendant risks if you are not capable to!!! Risks that could ruin you, like someone said earlier. If you are attributing the discouragement to all of these as hate and jealousy, then my friend, you are wrong.

I have been here close to 3yrs, drove in Nigeria for well over 7yrs and it just happens that I'm interested in getting my driving licence now. I have found it really hazardous to drive here if one isn't capable to or of 'sound mind'.

Depending on one's IQ/level of grasp, three weeks of intense lessons could be enough and for others, it could take several months! I don't know you or your level of assimilation, so, I can't conclude if that's enough time to pick up the finer details in driving.

When I read you calling someone crackhead and literally abusing others, I was really shocked, but not disappointed (I don't know you)! Totally unacceptable mate.

That said, have your questions been answered here or you require further clarification or you entirely prefer to visit that Ghanaian forum?

kumbhuru:
Finally a reasonable person.
Thank you very much for the input. God bless you.

Bro/sis, am I not a reasonable person too?
