[muhammad.aftab]

Hi all.
Although this is topic has been discussed number of times
On this forum, but bit confuse on this your help will be appreciated.

As for proof of income UKBA clearly has mentioned two proof of evidence
For example payslips and bank statement in case of employment.
What are the two major proof of evidence in Sole trader-Self employment.
As I am aware of followings;
Bank statement
Audited accounts
Letter from agent/accountant
NI CLASS2 payment receipts
Invoices

Which documents will two main documents for proof of earning?
For example now one of my friend has 56 invoices
Will he has to take all 56 invoices?
Please pick me the best documents out of above or suggest better.

Hi

In case of income as a sole trader; your friend would need ALL offollowing documents:

1. all the invoices
2. Bank statement showing credits against above invoices
3. Proof of Class 2 NI payments
4. Audited accounts or unaudited accounts and a letter from accountant

Thanks mate for reply but Does that means....

if someone is plumber and had done 900 plumb fix, will take 900 invoice to Home office? Surly it won't be possible to unload truck of invoices in front of UKBA office...

Invoices are not acceptable as they represent a demand for payment (that may not have materialised or was forged) rather than a receipt of actual payment. I suggest you re-introduce yourself to the policy guidance. Invoice explanations from your accountant are acceptable.

You only need to provide two types of evidence from separate sources permed from a list of suggestions.

The applicant must provide at least two different types of supporting document for each source of earnings claimed. Each piece of supporting evidence must be from a separate source and support all the other evidence so that together they clearly prove the earnings claimed.
