Hi friends and moderators
I am new to this forum but i have heard that it is very helpful specially person like me who worried about applying naturalization. i had ilr since one year through tier 1 general, every thing is fine except previous tax affairs.
i got tier 1 genral and ext and ilr by showing 30k self employed earnings, but i some how suffered losses after getting visas mentioned above so paid less tax on less earnings than 30k but paid always in time nothing owe to hmrc.
my question is the form na for nationality asks my tax ref, would they check and dig my previous earnings tax before ilr? could my ilr is at risk if i apply nationality?
i would be thankful plz moderators help me.
regards

Yes, your tax history with HMRC will be checked thoroughly and there have been numerous reports on the forum of refusals for both ILR and BC due to discrepancies between earnings and the amount declared for tax.

Deception

Thank you i appreciate your answer. i have one more question regarding my daughter who was
born in uk before i was granted ilr and child mother also was on dependent visa.
now i got the ilr after his birth in uk, can i apply for her uk registration through mn1 form? if yes then there is a main question which is confusing me:
"Please say if and when the child was given indefinite leave
to enter/remain in the UK. If the child’s parent is an EEA national,
a Swiss national or a family member of an EEA or Swiss national
you should ensure that they qualify for permanent residence.
Child has indefinite leave to enter/remain in the UK. Date granted"
what should i write here?
and how long the process is?
thanks in advance

As your daughter was born in the UK, she is entitled (i.e. can not be refused) to register as a British Citizen under Section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act 1981.
If she does not have ILR, leave the section blank and explain that she does not have ILR in a cover letter.
Children born overseas require ILR before registration.

You need to send the passport if she has one. Apply using NCS at the Council if you need to keep original documents.
Does she have ILR or a valid visa to re-enter the UK?
Bear in mind that your child also needs to be in the UK to submit biometrics once you get the letter, so make sure she isnt away for too long.
