Previous Earning...Help push-hsmp, chetanojha and other seni

Hi

I am self-employed translator(sole trader). I work for small groups of people, occasionally small organizations and get cheques which I pay into my account.

I believe I have to provide my Bank Statement and Accountant's letter which I can get. However, because as self-employed we have to pay tax at the end of the year unlike as a salaried person, I have no proof of payment of tax.

Do the above documents suffice. The reason why I am concerned is that anyone can arrange these documents and get Tier-1, so there must be something else such as tax payment etc which the Home Office wants to see before believing the earning.

I am in much need of advice. Please help

Thats fine. This is what the guidance note says:

Contractors:
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.

As regards HO being happy with authenticity of the document - No accountant would provide falsified documents as they risk losing their accredition if they resorted to such a forgery.

Hi.

1. The Home Office guidance about scoring for UK Experience is confusing (paragrapha, 151, 152 etc of guidance notes). Can Extention Applicants also claim 5 points for UK Experience because of Earning.

2. Does anyone know if Holiday pay is also part of earning for the purpose of previous earningl. Anyone who has claimed it or knows for sure.

3. Is it OK if maintenance funds is in current account.

Replies are much needed and appreciated especially if they refer to some guidance notes or practical example.
