Does anybody know how much one claim the paid annual leaves if you are employed and owner of your company?
Thanks
How can you receive salary when you invoice the US company you work for? Clients make payments against invoices, and those payments are not called "salary".staffordjafar wrote:All I do is work for a Us company, self employed in UK, invoice them everymonth and receive my monthly salary

1. You need to register a company only if you form a company.
2. The links given above should provide you with useful information about documentary evidence(s) to support "business related" absences from UK for settlement application by self-employed applicants.
Oh My God, I think I am in deep trouble then. I was always thinking I can get a letter from my client to prove my days outside UK for my business visits. I've been outside UK working for my clients customers so far 210 days in 4y6m( none of them more than 30 days ) . I dont know what to do now. I'm glad you informed me of this now.sushdmehta wrote:How can a "client" authorize "leave" for a vendor / supplier / contractor / service provider - be it 1 day or 28 days ... or 365 days in a year?
Many Thanks Sushmehta!! I appreciate your quick and positive reply.sushdmehta wrote:The problem is that you are self-employed but thinking as if you are employed. And you must understand the difference between "absence on account of leave(s)" and "absence on account of business purposes / obligations".
1. Self-employed individuals authorise their own leave(s). Any absence from UK when on such "leaves" cannot be authorised by a "client".
2. Any absences for "business related" purposes can be supported by letters from "clients" certifying that the person in question was on client location(s) to fufill business need / obligation (along with other evidences to support your claims - read the linked topics).
Dear Goldfish,goldfish wrote:As sushdmehta states, a client is not an employer so cannot authorise annual leave.
However, for business trips you could ask them for a letter stating that you were required to be in [location] on [dates] for the project you were working on for them.
Then hopefully any other absences (i.e. not business trips) would be within limits.
Keep us updated on the documents you send and outcome of your application.

Happy to help. I am a director and employee of a limited company. I plan to get a letter like the one described above from my client when I get to ILR. It is still some time away for me so I could not say how UKBA will treat the letter, but I hope it will go well for your application.staffordjafar wrote:Dear Goldfish,
Many Thanks for further clarification, Its because of people like you and sushdmedta people like me come to this forum to get our issues sorted.
1- So as you suggested I will get a letter of my client to prove I was outside UK on business trips ( 160 days none of them more than 30 days ) . I was also away 50 days on holiday during this 4y6m period.
I hope they will not reject this saying I am not entitled for annual leave as I dont own a company nor I am a director
Thanks very much again
