Indefinite leave to Remain for Domestic Worker

[RickyR]

Hmmmm ........ the liability for payment of Income Tax will depend on the terms of "employment". Some employers try and insist that their workers are self employed and therefore responsible for payment of their own tax. S3agull, since payslips are not being received, I think that this point is worth clarifiying with your "employer" to avoid any future misunderstanding with HM Revenue and Customs.

Generally, those who are resident with permission to work in the UK who are under 65 would usually qualify for a personal allowance of £7475 for 2011/12 and any income over this amount would then be taxable at the basic tax rate. If you do earn over £7475 per year and you are not having tax deducted at source (in which case a payslip and an end of year P60 Tax Deduction Certificate should be provided by your employer) then you may have to declare your earnings through the self assessment process used by the self employed workforce.

I've heard of that very situation Rosie, although technically its illegal.... ~Hopefully she has a good employer.

Ricky, unfortunately, whilst working for the Inland Revenue I came across this too many times and it is appreciated that tackling it may put the "employee" in a very awkward situation. Like you, I do hope that this "employer" is doing things responsibily and not taking advantage.

Some valuable information posted by Terpe in post #6 above which will hopefully be very helpful to S3agall
