It's is my first time to reply. This can be my poor suggestion. I think it's wil be OK as you are applying on basis of 10 years lawfull residency not the basis of you European wife.For self employment may be you can submit your payment invoice as you did do tax return yet.because tax year will finish in April and your appointment is in March.I also submit my payment Invoice and pay Slips from my employment. But my case is different than you.I çompleted my 6 years of DLR.
All the best and good luck.
In Sha Allah it will be fine.
