Dear All,

I have read the earlier posts and sticky on this topic. Still didn't get clarity.

I am applying for BC this month.(5 Years( WP + Tier 1 General) + 1Year ILR). In section 3: Good Character requirement I have to give the Name of the Employer or Business, Address of Tax office or tax office reference.

I have been in the current employment from last 7 Months( Sep 2012 - Till Date) and earlier(Sep 2011 to Aug 2012) I was contractor drawing my income ( Salary + Dividend ) as Ltd Company Director.

My question is...Will it be OK if I just mention my Current employment details (I am in this employment only from last 7 Months) or Do i need to provide HM Revenue & Customs Self Assessment Statement of Account?

Please share your thoughts.

I think if you are PAYE at this moment, you can just mention it as current employment.

the guidance is
"SECTION 7 Evidence of tax for self-employed applicants [b]only[/b]
The most recent HM Revenue & Customs Self Assessment Statement of Account"

As you can see above, you need to submit tax returns only if you are on self-employment "ONLY"

As you are on PAYE now, you might not need it.

This is just my thought, I will wait more for Senior Members and moderators to comment.

Just mention your current employment PAYE, if required UKBA can ask HMRC for employment history based on your NI number.

Just FYI - the self-assessment statement of account is required only if you are self-employed, working as limited company director is not the same. Limited company director is still classed as employee.

sys_sagar,destiniation_london thanks for clarification.
