Income from two sources & Bonuse Issue

[afm]

I need the guidance of Experts.

I am working as a Salaried employee and also doing some projects on my own.

Now My salary is being transferred to my account by my company and my comapny is ofcourse also providing the salary slips so this is my 1st Source of Income. But only by showing this income I cannot claim the required points for earning.

But as already mentioned I am also doing some contract work on my own like making softwares for some private industries and automation stuff. I didn't have a registered company nor paying any Tax on this income. Just the industry owner gives me cheques which I am submitting directly to my account. Now my question is that how can I show this as my Income. Do I only need to show a letter form the Industries Owners and the corresponding entry in Bank Statement or something else is also required ? And what should be the template of that letter?

Also my company gave me a small bonus but that was not included in my salary slip. How can I show that. If only a letter from company with my salary details + Bonus Indication in that letter is enough.

When did your self-employment start? How long ago?

This is during the same time period I am going to claim my Salary Earnings. However it started in October 2009 and I am going to claim my normal salary being an employee from Sep 2009 to Aug 2010.

So you have been self-employed since September 2009, and you have not told HMRC about that self-employment? Do you appreciate that there is a legal requirement to notify HMRC within 3 months of the start of self-employment?

So you have not reported any figures about the self-employment to HMRC? And you have not paid any Class 2 NI contributions?

Hi John,

Thanks for your replies but I think there is a misunderstanding here. I am not in UK; I am still in my country and have to apply for UK Tier1 General.

I am already paying tax on the income I am getting in form of Salary from my Company. I still haven't filed Tax Return on Income from July 2009 to Jun 2010 as last date of filing tax in my country is 30th of September.

Regarding my self-employement work like making of softwares for different industries; I have already mentioned that the owner of industry gave me cheque and I submitted in my account the same which is my salary account and which also have my maintainance fund. So there wasn't any tax deduction in it.

Now I wanted to know that how can I claim points against my self-employement work? Do I need a letter from teh Industry Owner if yes then what kind of Letter. Do I need to pay tax on that amount? to show 2 proofs?

The guidance notes provide details of what documents one needs to provide for claiming points from self employment.

Hi Push,

I have seen the General Guidance. And it seems that below is my relevant stuff. Please confirm.

Contractors:
If the applicant is a contractor who does not operate either through his/her own company or as an employee, he/she may provide:
an accountant’s letter confirming a

• breakdown of his/her gross and net earnings for the period claimed; and
personal bank statements clearly

• highlighting all credit payments made to his/her account from employment undertaken during the earnings period claimed.

Please confirm that I need to show above for doing short time contracts i.e providing services to Private Compaines ?
