ILR Self Employed (Locum) GP
Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2012 12:37 pm
Hi, I have tried to find details specific to ILR for doctors/ GPs on the board but to no avail. My details are as follows:
Nov 2007 to Nov 2009 HSMP
Nov 2009 to Nov 2012 FLR Tier 1 HSMP
1. I worked as a salaried GP trainee with a surgery until Nov 2011. I have payslips from this surgery.
2. From Jan 2012 to today, I have worked as a self employed locum GP with various surgeries. I sent invoices to the different surgeries and have received payments by BACS and cheque.
3. I have registered with HMRC as self employed and also paid and have received a receipt for NIS contributions as a self employed individual.
4. I received a letter from HMRC in lieu of my P60s to cover the last 5 years.
If possible, may I have some guidance on the following please?:
1.Would stamped payslips or a letter on surgery headed paper work to confirm salary earned? Can the letter state totals or would I need a breakdown of the sessions I worked and the sums received?
2. As I have been self employed since Jan 2012, I have to complete my tax returns for 2011-2012 to cater for the income received from self employment. The HMRC letter states that there is no evidence of income from self employment. This is because I am completing my tax returns online. If I don't complete in time for Oct, I have until end of Jan 2013. Will this affect my ILR application?
3. Do letters of employment and letter from accountant confirming income earned have to be addressed to UKBA? If so, what address should I use?
4. Just to confirm, I am using bank statements, payslips/ letters of employment as proof of earnings (of course letter from accountant). As a self employed doctor, would this suffice?
Many thanks
Ella
