Fellows,

Preparation of documents are almost done.At the sometime I become confused how to support my self employed business.
I have the following documents.
As per Tier 1 (General) policy guidance paragraph 141.
1. An unaudited Business account prepared by Chartered Accountants.
2. Invoices.
3. Bank statement showing invoice amount deposited,
4. Letter from accountant certifying the earned income.
But confused here with paragraph 142 where minimum of two documents are required in addition to above 141.
Can I claim with this two.
1. Class 2 national Insurance contribution invoice from HMRC confirming the self employment.
2, Letter from HMRC showing UTR number.

I could not find the no. 1 class-2 insurance contribution invoice in the policy guidance as an evidence so will remain with one no 2.Worried now as the date is 1st July. Previously I had a PAYE registration as an employer now I closed this account so only remain with one documents to support.
early advices are really appreciated.
Cheers
Londener

I think you should be fine, Take both + whatever you can to prove that invoices are genuine .

Sometimes they call your customer randomly & ask for your invoices from them which you provided.

This happens only 5 % cases. Hope this helps.
