Scenario:
Some of you may be working in UK. Your salary would be in a different country than UK. But when it comes to extension of HSMP/Tier 1, you are confused whether you can user the uplift ratio or not as the salary is credited in a different country!
Answer:
You can't claim the points, using uplift ratio in such scenario.
The following para from Tier1 guidance clearly says so:
130. The country in which the applicant has physically undertaken the work, rather than his/her nationality, the currency payment is made in or the country in which payment is made, determines the income band against which we will assess the earnings.
131. Where an applicant has earnings from more than one country, the points based calculator will apply the appropriate uplift ratio for each country in which the relevant earnings were made in order to provide a total UK equivalent value of earnings.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI want to know if I can apply uplift on my India earning even when I was in UK on Business Visa for Business purposes and my base location was India and I was being paid my full salary in India.
Thanks.
See para 130, which states the country in which you work, rather than his/her nationality
