I paid for my application online and I'm submitting my documents and biometrics on Wednesday.
I am a freelancer, and I work mainly with three clients. I issue them invoices and get paid via bank transfer. I am not running a company.
I'm providing the following:
- Bank statements
- Chartered Accountant letter (based on paperwork's version)
- Invoices being claimed, where 8/10 invoices were signed and/or stamped by clients.
The letter, dated Jan. 9th reads:
The table has the following columns:To: UK Border Agency
We act as accountant for Mr. X Y Z, a freelance Software Engineer and Consultant.
This letter is to confirm the earnings of Mr. X Y for the period of 28 October, 2009 to 27, October 2010.
Mr. X Y's professional fee is based on his skill and time spent on the project. Expenses incurred are primarily for bank transfer charges.
After verifying bank statements and invoices provided, we conclude the following:
1. Bank statements and invoices reflect the professional receipt of USD XXX and EUR YYY.
2. Tax accrual is XX to be paid before 31 March, 2011.
3. Expenses amount to the sum of USD XX and YY EUR.
4. Net Earnings for Mr. X Y is USD XX, and EUR YY (Point 1 minus Point 2 & 3)
Below is a table summarizing payments received by Mr. X Y, verified using original bank statements and invoices.
[Invoice No.] [Transfer Date] [Gross Amount] [Expenses] [Tax] [Net Earnings]
Numbers are traceable to bank statements except in some cases where they're exactly $20 or EUR 12 less. (bank transfer charges)
Letter is signed and stamped on official letterhead. Accountant put his membership number under his name.
Does that look good? Am I missing anything? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I receive payments in different currencies. I asked the accountant to sum up same currencies together and not to do the conversion.
Thank you!
