Good evening,

First of all, please point me in the direction of the guidebook that I have seen referenced on a number of similar posts if it answers my questions. I have had a hunt around on here but can't find it.

I am in the process of applying for ILR and uploading documents for my appointment next Wednesday 13th September. The guidance on the required documents list does not include what I need to provide if I am a director of a limited company that I am also an employee at. I receive a salary and dividends from that company.

Digging around I have found reference to a number of documents listed below that can be provided. I would like to know what I need to upload or where I can find a list. This one has come from the documents pertaining proof for a family member or spouse and before I find them all would like to check they are all needed. They include:
- CT600 for the last financial year
- Evidence of registration with the Registrar of Companies at Companies House.
- Unaudited accounts for the last full financial year and an accountant’s certificate of confirmation, from an accountant
- Corporate/business bank statements covering the same 12-month period as the Company Tax Return CT600.
- A current Appointment Report from Companies House
- Proof of ownership or lease of business premises.
- A certificate of VAT registration and the VAT return for the last full financial year (a copy or print-out) confirming the VAT registration number
- Payslips and P60 (if issued) covering the same period as the Company Tax Return CT600..
- Dividend vouchers for all dividends declared in favour of the person during or in respect of the period covered by the Company Tax Return CT600 showing the company’s and the person’s details with the person’s net dividend amount.
- Personal bank statement(s) showing that those dividends were paid into an account in the name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly.
-Payslips (or dividend vouchers) and personal bank statements showing that, in the period since the latest 12-month period covered by the Company Tax Return CT600, the person’s salary as a director or employee of the company (or both) (or dividend income from the company) was paid into an account in the name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly. Alternative evidence may include evidence of ongoing payment of business rates, business-related insurance premiums or employer National Insurance contributions in relation to the company.

Thank you! Its still not that explicit as to what I need. I have sent through:
- CT600 and unaudited accounts for the last financial year
- Business bank statements
- Personal bank statements
- Dividend Coupons
- VAT registration
- Company house record of directors
- Payslips

This feels like more than the doc here asks for but I feel like its better to be safe than sorry?
