Self -employed Earnings

[jat05]

Hi there,
About me: I am a Self-employed GP(Doctor), currently on Tier1(General) and will be applying for ILR in August. I do not operate under Ltd company or don't have any Business set up. I get paid by cheques and bank transfers for my work into my personal bank account. I pay taxes through self-assessment.

My query
1.When filling the form for total earnings do I have to put the total earnings for the period claimed or is it taxable Income? i.e Total earnings -Expenses = Taxable income
I am preparing to submit the following documents in support of earnings claimed.

1.Personal bank statements
2.Accountants letter/invoice summary
3.Most recent HMRC Quarterly NIC statement
4.Invoices
5.Tax demand notice from HMRC

Do I need to submit any other documents?
I appreciate if one of the seniors could answer the above
cheers

.... or don't have any Business set up

But you do have business set up, don't you. You clearly have a business and it is properly set up and you are paying your taxes and NI contributions.

Net earnings are to be shown
You need to prepare accounts that net earnings have been arrived at.
CA would certify that

Thank you both for your replies. Jami, Am I right in thinking that net earnings are same as taxable earnings
For example, my total earnings through cheques and BACS that went into my bank account
say £50,000 and expenses during that time is say £4000, does that mean the net earnings are £46000(taxable amount) and is this the amount I need to declare on the application.
Also could please suggest if the documents I mentioned would be enough to support.
Cheers
