hi Everyone ,im gary and totally new to this area of dating.I would really like to eventually marry a Filipino women but it looks a real mine field .The part im the most concerned about is the proving your income part. Im self employed and own my fish and chip shop.,i work under the vat threshold of 73k i think it is .Like most i put a bit to the side but not too much,so my gross takings are about 31k.My actual gross is near double that but officially approx 31k .(some might frown on this but to be honest i wouldnt make a profit if i didnt ). So for me to proove my income over £18,600 gross would i be ok ,im not good with this sort of thing.Im asking because i wouldnt want to go down the road of getting to know a lass then it all messing up at the end. I have found this site very useful and i didnt even know any of this till i found it on here .
Hi Gary, and welcome aboard. Looks like you already made an impression on our Yuna......... Lovely lass.. Ok, I really don't see any problems with that kind of income ... have you been to the Philippines yet, have you already met anybody...??? LDR can be blue murder on relationships, and only the strong ones survive the course. So I wish you all the best in your quest. Do we get discounts...?? You can put some extra mushy peas on my chips... Hold the salt............
hi Aromulus lol,+ cheers yep all members free stuff lol. I have only chatted breifly to the odd filipino but nothing serious as yet. So regarding the income thing ,they just go off gross income not net because obviously my net is very little. I havnt been to fili as yet and i dont think i would until i had been chatting to a lass seriously first.The reason im drawn to filipino women is the warmth they seem to have ? compared to british women .Im currently seperated from my wife but divorce should be straight forward and not even using solicitors.The situation with me is my wife though we have been married nearly 20yrs i dont think she really ever loved me .She was at solicitors in less than 1st year of marriage but because i made a life long commitment to the marriage i didnt quit.We had a 7 month split 10 yrs a go and about 19 mini splits like say 4 days long.In the end its killed it for me and i cant do that any more. The thing i like about filipino women is quite a lot have in their profile they want a life time marriage and this appeals to me.
The income... You will have to find a way, between you and your accountant of showing earning a bare minimum of 18.600 quid per annum, this a net figure. As per chatting online with someone, I have to warn you now, so that you don't fall into some trap. Irrilevant of the seriousness of whatever calamity the girls you chat with seem to be befallen with..... Do not send any money Until you have actually met her, and ascertained that she is kosher, and not a scammer, I would refrain about offering any finacial help. I would suggest you read up, in between frying times, our comprehensive http://www.euro-pinoy.com/ The Filipina, is warm, hard working, lively, demure, but not subservient. She makes the family what it is, and takes no prisoners in its defense.
Hi Gary. One of the few foods my wife actually likes here is good old british fish and chips. :brit: And I am planning on taking her for fish and chips for her birthday, which is soon.
just to add ,im on filipina love links site im not sure if its a good one or not .I go for the free to message sites as a rule.Is there any filipina dating sites that appear to be most popular ?
Thanks Aromulus,so on the income thing sorry to go on about it.Ok i need to show them proof of taking say £18,600 net minimum but what proof is usually enough ? actual tax return or just accounts from accountant ? Obviously accounts can be played with.,but i wouldnt want to show 20k net to taxman.
Employed people have to supply 6 months of salary slips, and P60.... I do not think that the taxman would be getting involved in immigration matters....
The books that you use for accounting puposes are the very ones you would submit, I believe. In other words, the one you present to the tax man. Correct me if I am wrong, anybody...
It is a start, I suppose, but you could do much better than that. We do have a couple of single girls on the site and I am sure if you open a new introduction thread, sooner or later someone will pop up. The problem with those websites is that is rife with scammers looking for the next sucker to turn up. And it gets very difficult to sort the chaff out, because basically all profiles look more or less the same, one indication could be that the picture shows a some kind of goddess, chances are the picture has been lifted from famous actress's online profile, which you wouldn't know anyway, unless you google for a while... So, go to some Catholic church for a few sundays, try to make friends with filipinos, make yourself trusted, and sooner or later some introduction will turn up. Drinking and swearing are a turn-off..........
Whilst Dom is correct and the best way of all to meet Filipinas is to go to the Phils , having researched properly The online method is fraught with issues however with a bit of preperation this can be overcome. There are a number of red flags that will show up, Asking for financial help quickly is one If you find yourself in the beginings of a strong online connection and you are asked to commit and be exclusive a second profile can check if this is reciprocated or not. Most filipinas will be limited in there on line presence by work acsess and or finance as its still not normal for most of the population to have net in the house.
So anyone on here self employed ? and what proof of income did you use ,ie accounts done by the accountant like you would show to a person buying the business (can easily be sorted) or did you have to show tax return specifying the income and tax.
Yes. I believe that to be true. You present those very books. The UKBA arent interested in your tax per se. But it wouldnt be sensible to present 2 sets of books. There is a potential dilemma. You want to minimise your income for tax purposes but maybe want to also maximise them to get above the UKBA minimum threshold. You truly need to "balance" your books in this case. As far as I know you cannot compile 2 sets of books for each of the two government parties.
Thanks for the help,what i will do is contact my accountant and see what he says .Hes married to a greek and that would have been before EU job.
