Naturalisation query - Good character (tax details)

Hi all,

I have a query re my naturalisation application. I have an appointment via NCS in 4 weeks time. Under "Good Character" section, details of my tax (tax office, reference number etc are to be filled out). I just started a company in Nov 2012 (I am the director) and started trading from Jan 2013, therefore am not due for tax returns yet and I have ref number, tax office details etc.

I have added my wife as my employee, again have tax office details, PAYE ref number etc but have not started paying her, I pay her salary and mine to my personal account.....thinking I have time to sort out tax towards the end of the year. In other words, if her salary details are search for using her NI number, the salary details via my company will not appear.

Wonder if this is going to be an issue in my naturalisation application

Please advise.
Many thanks

That should be fine as the HO are aware that when you start a new business you won't have the tax details ready straight away, use the extra information box on form AN to include any information you think will help.
