I am self-employed, i.e I own a company and I am applying for a Tier 1 next week. I don't know if it's last minute panick, but I have a few question.
The Border Agency guidelines says that it requires proof of earnings of a continuous 12 month period within last 15 months. I assume then that its ok if I am to give documents of the time between September 08 to Septmber 09.
The people who do my company's accounts are employed by the company itself. At the end of every financial year, the balancesheets and P&L accounts they prepare are audited by a chartered accountant from an audit farm and submitted to the tax authority. Since taxing happens at March every year, the accounts of April 08 to March 09 are audited, taxed and the audit farm has been able to give me an authitication letter about the net profit of that period on headed paper.
However, the accounts of Apil 09 till Sept 09 are done by my own accountants who are my employees. They can not be audited now as it is too soon for that. My accountants can give me an authintication letter, but it will be on my company's letterhead. Will that be acceptable? They can also give me a sales summary with the name and address of my clients, dates and amounts of payments received. It will be signed by my own accountant and of course not by the auditors. I can supply original invoices supporting these claims. Is it ok?
So basically these are the papers I have at my disposal.
1. Profit & Loss and Balancesheet of April 08 to March 09.
2. Letter of audit farm authenticating the above documents.
3. Tax Returns paper of April 08 to March 09.
4. Profit & Loss and Balancesheet of April o9 to September 09.
5. Letter from my accountant on my company's letterhead authenticating those.
6. Bank statements of business accounts from April 08 to current.
7. Trade License.
8. Details of my clients, dates and amounts of payements summarized by my accountant ob my company's letterhead.
9. Originals of invoices that I have sent to my clients.
Let me know if this is enough or something else is required. Do I need to explain all this on my cover letter?
Thanks much
