As far as i am aware, Yes, you have to attach invoices for all the earnings you claim as a sole trader. Invoices are the most important document. Application will straight away get refused if u dont include your invoices.

But again, i would advise u to take a professional advise through OISC registered advisers.

yr accountant is ignorant or making fool u or he may be unqualified so he is outsourcing this work

till turn over £6,500,000.00 with other conditions no audit is required

be smart from these people
