But if it before or after business expenses have been deducted?zhs8 wrote:Sorry, it is earnings before tax.
Yes, but that's gross income. Maybe I haven't explained it clearly.zhs8 wrote:Sorry, it is earnings before tax.
I agree. Why are people on here mentioning net after deduction. It clearly says that for a sole trader it is £18600 gross, not net.zhs8 wrote:Sorry, it is earnings before tax.
Admittedly the Immigration Rules are confusing regarding gross income for the self-employed, but the issue regarding deductible expenses not being counted as income is given as follows:pce950 wrote:I agree.

I found it equally confusing and had to re-read through the Immigration rules to confirm. The argument would be that the employed and the self-employed are actually on an equal footing as:pce950 wrote:My apologies. I've re read the paragraph and it it is indeed gross income after tax.

Beyond ridiculous. Well that's made things extremely hard now.
