FLR question

[Guemlum]

Hi everyone, there's a question when completing the online form for a FLR visa that asks about shared financial responsibilities.

 

"Do you and your partner have any shared financial responsibilities?" For example, council tax, utility bills, mortgage or rent, childcare costs, loan repayments.

 

Whilst both our names appear on the council tax statements and some of the utility bills, I pay the bill, so would the answer be no?

If joint names on Council Tax, Water and Electric & Gas bills are classed as SFR's, I'm now thinking its a yes.

 

Until my wife's work as a sole trader (she set up during the pandemic, and has been closed due to lockdown for 2 months out of the 3 that she's been trading) allows her to earn enough money to contribute then I pay the main bills. She has started paying for small items such as food from the market, car parking, fuel costs.

 

Any thoughts guys as I need to submit the application today?

 

Regards

I said No in the same circumstances as you. Just write a short covering letter to explain the situation and it will be fine.
