Contractors

Hi,

Who is a contractor? A self-employed registered with the HMRC as a sole trader can be called a contractor or not?

Also in case of contractor in the policy guidance it says:

"If the applicant is a contractor who does not operate either through his/her own company or as an employee, he/she may provide:
an accountant’s letter confirming a breakdown of his/her gross and net earnings for the period claimed; and
personal bank statements clearly highlighting all credit payments made to his/her account from employment undertaken during the earnings period claimed."

It doesn't mention invoice anywhere.

Policy Guidance: Page24-25(X): Where an applicant is submitting a combination of bank statements and a letter/invoice summary from their accountant, they must also provide any invoices generated during the period for which earnings are being claimed.
