Evidence of current registration - Self-employed applicants

[mohsensari]

DearZimba88,
the requited documents for this section are bit strange (Tier 1(Entrepreneur) Policy Guidance version 11/2016 - Page 51), as we know form May 2015 the HMRC hasn't issued any NI bill and they cancel the all direct debit for NI contribution and they collect through self-assessment.
therefore my lost NI bill is for May 2015. and they ask for the bill from the billing period immediately before the application.
Pleas advise me.

If you pay your contributions via Self Assessment, then you need to submit all your Self Assessment tax bills, including the most recent.
Also I suggest to call HMRC and see if they can issue you with a letter/bill showing you paid Class 2 NI.

Dear Zimba88,
in Page 104 of 142 Published for Home Office staff on 02 December 2016 slightly different than version 11/2016. it is unconditional and I have the original, dated welcome letter from HMRC containing my unique taxpayer reference number dated 11/3/2014

Please read below and advise me
Current information
They must provide evidence to show they are paying class 2 National Insurance
contributions.
These may be:
• paid by bill or direct debit
• small earnings exception certificate
They must provide one of the following documents:
• a National Insurance bill from the billing period immediately before the
application - this must be an original document and not a copy
• a copy of their most recent bank statement issued before the application,
showing the direct debit payment of National Insurance to Her Majesty’s
Revenue & Customs (HMRC)
• an original small earnings exception certificate issued by HMRC for the most
recent return date
• the original, dated welcome letter from HMRC containing their unique taxpayer
reference number

Isn't this to prove you registered within the first 6 months as self employed ??
I though above you were asking how to show you remained registered when applying. There are two separate requirements as you know

It seems that the welcome letter is included in the list to show current registration as well as registration after the specified date. It would be best to show supporting evidence in addition to the letter.
Do you have bank statements showing NI payment to HMRC?
