self employed income

[visatier1]

I am due to apply for extension to my Tier 1 early next year in Feb 2011...I was hoping if someone could guide me to the right direction with regards to the documents.....
Basically I am working for a compnay as PAYE employee but also run a part time business as self employed of my own........and wish to use earnings from both sources to satisfy the criteria required under earnings..

For my extension application i am providing :

* 12 Months bank statement and 12 Months pay slips for my PAYE employment.*(I believe this satisfies the requirement for documents in this section)

For Self employment the document confusion still exists....

1. I have a letter from accountant confirming exact amount i am claiming on his letter headed paper.
2. Letter from accountant for invoice explanations.
3. I also have the invoices as mentioned in section 141 of Tier 1 Policy Guidance on page 23.


Now the confusion which home office has created on its paperwork is in Section 142..
They are requesting further 2 documents in addition to the ones in 141.
Could someone clarify how is a self employed person supposed to satisfy this criteria.
as only doucment which can be provided is
UTR letter from HMRC
will they accept employers liability insurance as 2nd evidence

When did your self-employment start? Prior to 05.04.10? If so your Self Assessment tax return to 05.04.10 will of course mention your self-employment income, so why not supply a copy of your Self Assessment tax return?

OK, but what about your Class 2 NI contributions? Have you got confirmation from HMRC that you are paying Class 2, or alternatively a Small Earnings Exemption Certificate?

yaaa am paying class NI contributions..

But you would only be paying Class 2 contributions if you were self-employed. So isn't proof of those contributions proof for UKBA that you are indeed self-employed?
