Still waiting to be able to apply for naturalisation, due to my accountant's sudden glacial pace. I know UVKI are going to need me to turn over all accounts for my entire tax history (pay slips as well?) as well as a blood sacrifice, the 5 years of shared bills to prove my husband's devotion, and whatever else.
But do I need to pay the tax that will be due 31 Jan 2019, in full, in order to apply? I've already overpaid my tax on account for 2017-18 by a couple grand, so whatever the bill is should be manageable (particularly as, now that I'm employed, I can all but eliminate tax on account for 2018-19). But obviously it would be nice to not have to pay straightaway ...
