Hiya

I was meant to apply for BC now, but passport is stuck with the embassy getting renewed, not sure when I will get it back. I became self employed in this tax year, so I was going to send with my application all documents that relate to my registration with HMRC as self employed as I haven't yet had to submit a tax return. As I might end up having to submit my BC application after April 5th, will I need to provide a self assessment statement of account, or can I supply a letter from HMRC showing that I am registered as a self employed person and that I have paid all my National Insurance Contributions to date, as I want to send my BC asap.

Many thanks

Personally would just state in the Other Info box about you having not been self employed for a year yet hence no self assessment statements.

You only get a statement if you have taxes to pay so even if you had been one longer and was only getting minimal income you still wouldnt get a statement out the back.

When we submitted the "self employment" was little more than a hobby and so never has triggered any tax so never had a statement. Got BC within 2.5 months of applying with no questions
