Employment section, applying for citizenship after 12 months of ILR

If I have undertaken some self-employment in addition to my PAYE work under ILR, but not paid yet by the time of citizenship application, should I declare self-employment under "employment" section of the online form?

I assume I should declare that since I have undertaken the self-employment; but the problem will be not having any tax return yet. So, what can be provided as supporting document of that section?

Self employment is still with the same employer, but additional pay which should be filed under tax return. I am thinking of explaining this under additional information section at the end and maybe attach the internal document that I have with employer, showing how much money will be paid.

Thanks for your help in advance.

You can declare is as self-employed activity.

If you haven't done a tax return yet you can't submit it - not an issue - you can attach a note to that effect.

Not necessary to explain this - employment and earnings are not a requirement for naturalisation.
