Hi , I applied for Tier 1 (2nd extension) 4 weeks ago via post and had biometric enrollment a week after.

Good job Senthilkumar. I've an appointment tomorrow in Belfast too. Hope I'll end up the same like you.

Thanks v.much HSK Accountancy Services.

Hi HSK Accountancy Services, Make sure your accountant is not just only qualified but he/she must have a 'practicing licence' from ACCA/ICAEW etc. Best way to make sure that your accountant has a practicing licence is to search on institute's website and see if he/she is registered as a practitioner ...

Hi Sushdmehta, All the accountant letter samples I’ve seen shows the earning income of both sources (Salaried + Self employed income), but I don’t want to bother my accountant by salaried income source as I already have enough evidence for the salaried income. The first question: 1- Does it matter if ...

Thanks Sushdmehta.

Hi Arifahmmed,
I've the same issue. Would you tell me which number you had called UKBA to cancel one of them?

Hi Sushdmehta,
Thanks for your answer. I've meant that It's a mandatory requirement to register myself as self employed to count the freelancing earnings.
Yes I've to claim both employed + self employed previous earnings to score enough points for the extension.

The registration made 2 weeks after I’ve received my first earnings from freelancing, However, I’ve entered 2 months earlier, two months before the first payment receive d ...

Hi All, I'm planning to apply for Tier1 extension by the end of this year. I'm planning to claim points for employee + Self employed earnings, But I've not register with an accountant yet. I'm planning to find an accountant 1 month before applying for the extension, Is that fine? Could the ...

dude, thats not a choice, its a requirement.

Yes I'm going to register to claim future earning But now I'm looking for a way to claim the points for earning already received, Is it applicable?

You need to get registered with HMRC as Self-employed or work through limited company. I don't want to register as Self-employed, I want to hire an accountant to fill/complete tax return for the overseas income. I think that the accountant’s letter confirming gross and net earnings of the overseas e ...
