How detailed should the Income Letter be?

Candy · Post by **Candy** » Tue Sep 05, 2006 4:06 am

The guidance says that one of the evidence for earnings is:

Letter form employer detailed salary.

I am wondering how detailed the letter should be?

There are about ten items on each of my payslips. Should I list total amount for 12 months for each item, such as basic salary, allowance, ect?

Cheers.

Letter form employer is not so good evidence.
If you have tax return, pay slips and bank statment it is enough.

I share the same opinion.
I think most people will understand the reason behind it.
HSMP case worker is aware that in some countries letters from employers are too easy to fake. You could get dozen of letters from employers even without ever involve in that job.

Also, get your pay slips attested by your HR.

Heaven13, what do you mean? Can you explain more about why your application was rejected?

Letter from employer is more crediable and convenient for case worker if it corosponds to tax return.

I got approval on tax return and employer letter text of which is given under the topic " ANY ONR FROM PAKISTAN---"

Each case has its own merit

Tax Return will be considered as an "independent" evidence of past earnings only if it corressponds to the correct 12 month period.

I would suggest that you include the following if your tax return doesn't cover the correct 12 month period:-
1. Salary slips for the 12 months.
2. Letter from employer confirming salary paid to you in the 12 months.

You can include either or both as "supplementary" evidence:-
1. Tax Return
2. Bank account statements of the 12 months (clearly highlighting entries reflecting salary credit).

Hope this helps !!
