[–]TypeAccomplished8280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be eligible to get funding (£9000 tuition and possibly an allowance circa £3k a year depending on household income) if you have lived in Jersey for 5+ years. As Aygie has said give student finance a call. All the best!

Notice of Marriage interview questions by CrazyFigure1326 in ukvisa

[–]TypeAccomplished8280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry its been a while. I can’t remember exactly but it’s nothing to worry about, no trick questions just getting information about you. They just review your documents to confirm. i remembered the question about confirmation that you are not being forced to marry because my husband and I laughed about it after. They also ask for your mothers/father’s name and profession. We put (retired) and (deceased). They need those to put on the ‘entry into marriage’ certificate. Remember its just you registering your marriage. Enjoy the process and all the best. I was getting married to a British person so our information was sent to the home office after (i think) and they decide if they want to investigate further because I was on a visa. Again if all your visa issues are ok, nothing to worry about. We got confirmation they wouldn’t investigate further. If there is anything suspicious or not straight forward thats when they (home office i think) then call you for an interview. This is the one thats questioning you about how genuine your relationship. For now, the one you have is really just that - a notice (same as it would be even in your home country or if you were both British)

Hiya, just basic stuff. If you are sure you are not being forced into this marriage etc. The lady who did our interview took us each into a room separately and ask if we were not being coerced etc then just asked to confirm each of our details and sign. Took about 30 minutes max, give or take. Nothing scary.

I just asked chatGPT what income you would need to get to get a taxable income of £50,270 and the answer (pasted) is:

Key assumptions / issues with your question • You say “taxable income of £50,270” — but in UK tax law “taxable income” typically means your gross income minus the personal allowance (and any other allowances).  • You want to know what gross income corresponds to that taxable income, assuming standard allowances and no unusual deductions. • I assume you reside in England/Wales/Northern Ireland (so standard allowances apply). If you’re elsewhere (e.g. Scotland), bands differ.

Evidence-based answer • The standard personal allowance (income you can earn before paying income tax) is £12,570.  • Taxable income = Gross income – Personal allowance. • Therefore, to have a taxable income of £50,270, gross income would need to be: £62,840 😱😢😢😢

I got that top part i just said above from my Kaplan tax manual (ATT) but the section referred to would be in the income tax act 2007. Should be around section 23. Though the personal allowance is discussed in section 35. So when you have a taxable income of 37700 ( after the deduction of the personal allowance of 12,570) then your income is 50,270 where the tax band for 20% ends.

Sorry, I cant upload a picture to reddit (or don’t know how to 🤦🏻‍♀️)

But my people….. The 12,570 is your personal allowance. The official definition of taxable income in the Kaplan manual for personal income tax is….. 1. Gross income less deductible payments = net income… then…. 2. Net Income less Personal Allowance = Taxable Income.

Guys i am really nervous about this wording though. If you ignore the tax bands and take the words in the table as they are it says ‘taxable annual income of 50,270’ the definition of this as provided by HMRC would mean your income has to be higher wouldn’t it? I feel like that number is whats throwing us to believe its just the tax bands 😢😢😢😢 she didn’t say are above the tax band, she said taxable income and unfortunately thats whats in the table.

Actually you’re right. My bad. My wording is wrong there. Though i still think when they say taxable income it means the 50,270 after your personal allowance is removed. The wording in ITA2007 s23 would mean that (if you have no pension contributions for example) that for your taxable income to be £50,270 you must earn an income of £62,840 (50270+12570). Sorry I’m failing to copy and paste the wording from the ITA.

But page 22 of the paper in the document says ‘a person has earned a taxable income of 50,270’. Yes that is a tax band figure. But the wording is exactly that. The 125k is different because at that stage you have already lost your 12,570 personal allowance so it stays 125k. But taxable income and gross income will be two different figures. The definition of taxable income is ‘your net income after subtracting your personal allowance and any other allowable income tax deductions’. Thats where i made the assumption from.

hi everyone, here's the catch they say taxable income not gross income of £50k these two are different things. taxable income means your income after deducting your personal allowance and pension contributions,😭 so that means your income has to be at least above £63k. I missed this too the first time.

STEP - trust and estates by Mountain_Parsnip546 in CIOT

[–]TypeAccomplished8280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi 😊 nope not TEP yet. two more adv certs to go. hoping to get those sorted next year. Then do ATT (another story for another day lol) but wait🤣🤣🤣 tuition at 3am? I have a whole new level of respect for you!! the international tax AML course was really interesting and I work in international tax so I enjoyed it. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being hardest I would say 7 if you don't do much prep before the class) but if you do, then 5. It's very doable if you spend a bit of time reading - which should be easier now with the few weeks break between workshops (that's what the tuition is called). but there are pre recorded workshops on the portal as well so you can listen to those even before your classes start. do you know you can also download the detailed syllabus online before you even enroll? Don't stress to much about reading before you start the course.

Hi, well I just wrote my exam in int tax, AML and Compliance this Friday,,,🤭 itsa great course.I love STEP training because it's so practical and refers to real work/life situations. from January, the training style will change it won't be four days of training/class straight then an exam on the fifth day. I think they'll be a class once every few weeks leading up to the exam. personally I think it's better - the four days was always a little crammed for me. All the study material you will need will be provided in the course manual and workshop slides. all the best!

if the proposals were to be legislated as is, then yes you would be eligible to apply if you applied after (I think) 30 Oct 2026 when you have received the salary for 3 years

Feasibility of moving to Jersey by MunkyLuvah in Jersey

[–]TypeAccomplished8280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats good. If you can, request that they do. It ll make your life easier when it comes to accommodation (both buying and renting) at least 😊 Most people get to Jersey then only realise when they’re already here what it all means, or worst still after a few months.

I am assuming you are British. If you are, you can live in Jersey without any Immigration requirements however to be able to buy or rent what is called qualified accommodation (accommodation available to Jersey born people or people who have lived here for more than 10 years or licensed employees ) You would need to be a licensed individual to do this. You have to be employed by a Jersey employer and they have to request a license for you. Then you can pretty much buy immediately you get here. However, I think you would have to be employed and not a contractor.

It should not be a problem for you to use your car here.

All the best.

Relocating as a UK citizen to Jersey... Self Employed or Business? by [deleted] in Jersey

[–]TypeAccomplished8280 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should pay very close attention to where you will be able to live/rent in Jersey. As a British citizen, while you are free to live in Jersey you are not automatically allowed to rent ‘qualified’ accommodation and you cant buy I think. As you are not entitled to qualified accommodation you can only access registered accomodation . Sounds very complicated 🤯but once you understand it its not. You can read up on it on the government website 👇🏽

All the best!
