Eliminate the Risk of an ILR Refusal Due
to Tax Amendments
For any skilled migrant in the UK, receiving an ILR refusal because of past tax amendments can be a confusing and deeply stressful experience. Discrepancies in previous tax returns can be used by the UK Home Office to question an applicant’s character, leading to a refusal of their ILR application. This can have severe consequences, potentially meaning that applicants and their families may have to leave the country.

We successfully represented a client, Mr. V, who faced an alarming Home Office questionnaire regarding his tax history.

A Client’s Experience
Your Questions Answered About ILR Refusals and Tax Amendments
Many skilled migrants face challenges when their Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) applications are refused due to past tax amendments, specifically under Paragraph 322(5) of the UK Immigration Rules. The Home Office may decline an application if it considers it “undesirable to permit the person concerned to remain in the United Kingdom” because of inaccuracies in previous tax filings—even if those errors have since been corrected and all owed taxes paid to HMRC.
In these cases, the Home Office often views discrepancies between the income declared to HMRC and the income previously reported in visa applications as evidence of poor “character and conduct.” This can be interpreted as intentional deception, which seriously damages an applicant’s chances of securing permanent residency. Such refusals can have severe consequences, affecting not only your immigration status but also your professional reputation and long-term future in the UK.
Mr. Devid came to the UK through the points-based immigration system with his wife and child. After successfully extending his visa several times, he faced delays when applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). The Home Office then sent him a detailed questionnaire regarding his tax affairs, raising serious concerns.
Mr. Alina was understandably anxious, as a refusal based on allegations of deception could have severely affected his family’s stability and his professional reputation.
