Your tax domicile’s usually the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born. It can change, but that is the basic rule. Non domiciled tax residents do not pay tax in the UK on foreign earned income as long as that ... Read More

The advice given above is good. I went through this, and was advised by my lawyer not to get married in my wife's country, but to get married in a civil ceremony or church here in the UK as it makes it almost automatic that you'll get the ... Read More

In reality there's little to be taken into account. Just take the child out of school and sign the form. The local council will almost certainly never inspect. There are now 10s of thousands of kids being home schooled and generally they are two ... Read More

Heard this story many times. It's a scam. £800 is 6 month's salary in Morocco. He does this as a living - you won't be the only one he has on the go. Heart breaking, but learn the lesson. Read More

No, it doesn't help. I assume you cut and pasted, or this was answered by a bot. As I understand the law, and as it was when I married a non EU citizen - you cannot marry until you have a marriage visa. IF that is correct then this lady could ... Read More

I think the information you have given here is incorrect. It is not possible to marry in the UK on a visitor's visa from outside the EU. Please correct me if that is incorrect. This being the case, this young lady is not married, and has been ... Read More
