Hey root, I am not experienced with HSMP, but I'd like to share my points of view, just based on common sense, about the period of past earning:
I don't think it is based on "Immediate" 12 months prior to the application receipt date, this is state nowhere officially, and I think it is impossible as:
1) in most countries, the tax return for a month is released one month after the month concerned, thus it is impossible for one to provide income tax return timely to meet the requirement, (e.g u have to wait till Oct to get ur Sept tax return, then when the HO receive ur application, it would be Nov).
2) for some applicants, they worked couple of years and then went for study, so the only earnings they could claim,after their study, is what they earned before study, how could that period be immediate before the application receipt month?
again, I am not at all experienced, just saw u r so worried abt this, hopefully I won't affend anyone if I am telling wrong...
