ILR Set (M) Finances Section Query

[shabz_81]

Hi John

Just wanted to ask a few questions regarding the finances section of the form. It states "what is his/her pay each month after income tax and other deductions?

We are currently in receipt of Child Benefit and Child Tax Credits do I also include the amounts I receive for these with my income from employment in this box.

Secondly. I get reimbursed for mileage and other expenses related to my job by the company I work for as a pharmacy locum via my salary on a monthly basis. This is shown as Mileage/Expenses separetly on the wage slip and it is tax free. My question is do I include this figure in the box mentioned above.

Thank You
Shabaz

use last whatever amount is shown on last payslips (as long as its not too different from previous ones). If there is large difference use an average.

Look at the question again it clearly says "what is pay" it says pay and not income. so use earnings from salary.

xyz123, I agree, it is asking about pay, not income.

And as regards getting "reimbursed for mileage and other expenses related to my job", that is not income but as you say, a reimbursement.
