Letter from accountant - how much detail?

[nfoote]

Hi

Planning to include a letter from my accountant detailing my salary and dividend payments from my limited company to me as my earnings.

Can anyone tell me how much detail does UKBA want on this?

Does it just need to be a simple total summary so that the totals summed up from my bank statements match (after some simple maths)?
eg
"He earned £10000 Gross Salary (less £3000 deductions) plus £40000 gross dividend payments (less £7000 withholding tax)"

Or does it need to be a detailed list of each seperate payment?
eg
20/10/10 Salary £809.43 Gross (less £67 deductions) £742.43 Net
18/11/10 Dividend £4999 Gross (less £9999 deductions) £4000 Net

detailed list of each seperate payment

correct, they want the dates of the payments so they can confirm it's within your earning period.

Yes - separate them out.
