Self Employment income timing confusion

[Sana Haq]

Hello seniors

Please help with my query below

My husband started self-employment in July 2015. Up until 5th April 2016, his self-employment had been 30,000 after all expenses. He is still in self-employment.

is the income ok for the flrm application if we send one at the end of this month? I am confused in the guidance where it says “last full financial year”

my husband only started self-employment in July 2015 and at the time of application next he will have worked 10 months as self-employed (July 2015 –April 2016)

please advise

It dont matter if you work 4 months or 6 month in financial calendar as long as you can provide the evidence of required amount earned and amount of tax paid for the last full financial year . You probably need print out copy of the Annual self-assessment tax return to HMRC for the last financial year. Proof of registration with HMRC as self-employed which is UTR letter recieved from them and bank statements for the same 12-month period as the tax return showing that the income from self-employment has been paid into an account
