BC proof of residence

I am trying to find out what could be a suitable proof of residence in the last 5 years for the BC applicants who are:

EEA citizens, so no stamps in the passport.

Have their own company and employ themselves.

The current AN guidance states: "Bank statements or household bills are not suitable proof you have been living in the UK." So these are no longer acceptable. Letters from employers are not the case when you have your own company. Letters from the government deparments are very limited: might still find some HMRC reminders about the tax returns, but they are sent once a year and people naturally throw them away, so covering each year is difficult.

Any ideas what else could work as a suitable evidence?

Your HMRC self assessment returns.

Thanks. I didn't quite expect SATRs to work, as it's just a form prepared by my accountant and submitted to HMRC (rather than something I receive from HMRC). How about throwing in some council tax bills? Are they accepted?

HMRC tax returns and SA302 for every year will be OK. bills not accepted.
