I would be applying my T-1 General Extension in June first week. I am working as a contractor with limited company, for previous earning I will be showing payslips, dividend voucher and earning statement generated by my accountancy firm. As per guideline #112- Where an applicant is providing evidence from an accountant or accountancy firm: “If the earnings were for work done while the applicant was in the UK, such evidence must come from an accountant or accountancy firm in the UK who is a member of a recognised supervisory body”.
In my case the accountancy firm is not a member of any of listed supervisory body, however the accountants working in that firms are certified charted accountant and member of ACCA.
I have following queries in this situation:
1. Is that ok to get all the earning proofs on accountancy firm letter heads but prepared and signed by accountant who is ACCA certified member? Please note that accountant doesn’t have his letter head or rubber stamp hence he would neither be able provide these documents on his letter head, nor he would be able to seal it. He insist he would use company stamp to seal the documents wherever required and he would just sign on it. Is this sufficient and would it not lead to a problem?
2. What proof I have to get from my accountant to show that my accountant is ACCA certified?
It will be great help if anybody can guide me on this.
Regards.
