hopefulApplicant wrote:Hi All,
I am about to apply for my HSMP application as soon as my business bank account statements and UK Naric letter arrive. My one remaining issue is what to supply for a tax return.
As I work as a self employed contractor through my own limited company, all I have is a self assessment tax return (prepared and lodged by my accountant). However, the guidelines specify that self assessment returns are not admissible as they are not independant.
I would just like to hear from anyone who has been in a similar position and what they submitted (and also if their submission was successful).
Thanks,
Chris
So they ask for your "income tax return" but they say that "Self-assessment tax documents are not accepted"! It might have been an idea if someone in IND had bothered to speak to someone in HMRC! For the sort of people we are talking about, if it exists at all, the only form of UK tax return is a Self Assessment one!In order to demonstrate your total annual salary before tax you should provide both:
- Your income tax return. If the tax year does not cover the full period claimed other corroborating evidence is required for the period(s) not covered. Self-assessment tax documents are not accepted, as they are not independent;
- Your wage slips covering the entire 12 months period.
It may or may not help to point out they don't actually say that. They refer to "Self-assessment tax documents" ... of which there are a number of different types .... and do not refer specifically to a Self Assessment tax return.However, the guidelines specify that self assessment returns are not admissible as they are not independant.
