Hi,

Congrats for your extension and good luck for your rest of the future.

Could you please let us know if you have also submitted below set of documentation as a sole trader :

1) Public & product liability insurance document for protecting your business.
2) Profit and loss statements
3) Balance sheet
4) Income certificate from accountant to prove your earnings.

How did you show the earnings ? Is it Net profit before tax or after tax ?

There is no proper documentation itselfs. If you look in this forums thoroughly and read few threads - there are cases where extensions has been rejected if you haven't submitted above set of documents.

I am not sure how each case worker is considering individual applications.

Also i submitted bank statements to corroborate the amount on the invoices. I used my personal bank account because i am sole trader .I did not need to open a business bank account.

Responding to the last post:

1) Public & product liability insurance document for protecting your business. -No, i didn't because i am a sole trader and not a company

2) Profit and loss statements -Yes, i included this from the accountant. That was why i said accountant letter, i mean all the document listed on the guidance note for me to produce from Accountant.

3) Balance sheet -Yes, i included this from the accountant

4) Income certificate from accountant to prove your earnings-I dont know what you mean by this but the accountant did a breakdown of my income each month and a cover letter stating my net profit and the type of business i do

5) The amount i used to prove my point is net profit after expenses has been deducted. This is the actual amount that would be taxed.

Hope this helps
