Ok dokey simple English then. If I was desperate to get my wife and child here I would make sure the next time I filled in a Tax form it showed that I was earning enough to satisfy the UKBA when my wife submitted her visa application. This may of course result in you having to dip into your savings to pay the extra Tax but I would consider this a price worth paying to get my loved ones here.
Sorry you considered my reply a smart .... comment but you did ask for some ideas. It seems to me at the moment you fall short on the earnings which if declared will result in any application being refused.
I hope everything eventually works out for you.
actually when i read it earlier , i also misinterpreted what you were saying,

now after reading again i see exactly what your saying, hindsight would have been a great thing, but im thinking its not so long since we got to know the new requirements, a new tax year end is approaching fast and may not leave much time to spread out an increase in earnings, if there is i would think the extra tax would be much less than the shortfall amounts to pay, of course no one is suggesting anything illegal
