Bit confused. Please help!

[kumaran72]

I am about to apply for the Tier 1. But confused.

This is my case.
I work full time as a lecturer and work part time in 3 other places. All places pay me by cheques or SLIPS (automated bank payments) payments. I get monthly salary from my full time employment. Other places pay me sometime monthly, sometime once in three months ( as I finish modules). Durations are varying. But all fall within my claim period.

I get appointment letters every academic year from these places.

My question:
Can I clam all these places as separate income sources (full time/part time)
OR

Should I consider myself a self employer and get an accountant letter?

Please let me know your opinion soon as I have to decide how to proceed urgently.

Thanks in advanced.

That should be OK .....
But you need letter of evidence for the 2 sources
1. Letter from the Organisation where you are working part time stating the payments on Official Letter Head.
2. Banks stmts reflecting the same with seal and sign.

Make sure you submit original letter of confirmation / authorisation for your earnings containing all details like
-- Date of payment
-- Duration / Period of earnings (Period in Dates, From date and To date)
-- Mode of payment - cheque or cash or bank credit
-- Amount Paid

-- IF POSSIBLE, Type of earning (like gross or tuition allowance or Lecturer allowance - you can use the technical term here)

For your earnings section, you atleast need 2 evidences. Note that the 2 evidences should be applied for all the source of earnings and fyi, only (USUALLY) taxable components of ur earnings can be shown as a proof of salary.

I am not sure what is ur claim period. But if you have all the source of earnings details in Form 16, then you are very good to go.

Personally, if i were in ur position, i would also submit an Accountant letter from a authorised Accountant since the earnings are from the MULTIPLE sources.

If you have any clarification, please post. People are always there to provide you guidance.

Have you applied and is yes then what happ. ??
i got similar query

I am in India and my annual income from my full time job is not enough for Tier 1.

But alongside my job i am also maintaing computer systems & network setups for some small business firms(all registered).
I got paid by cheque from these firms and i can also get some declaration on letter head or other document if required to verify the genuineness of my earnings.

Query 1 - Can i combine my job salary along with the income i get from other sources .
Query 2 - what documents i need for this.

For india application you need to show lots of proof i have heard ... as getting letter from client and random deposit in bank is very easy (which UKBA knows).

you need show you paid tax
CA letter for gross / net calculation.
etc
