This is confusing.

Why are they asking for 'Evidence of Tax for Self-employed applicants then?

Low earners do not pay tax or NI?

No long term absences of any kind.

I am only worried about low earnings as a self-employed person.

Would if be beneficial to show accounting books etc., in addition to the latest Self-Assessment from HMRC?

Thank you.

Than you for your reply.

I was granted Indefinite leave to remain in 1998.

I am not familiar with all the terminology. This new application process is so complicated.

Are there any salary requirements for self-employed person? My earnings are not big and thus have not been paying any tax or NI? I have been in continuous employment over the past 20 years just not earning very much.

Thank you.
