Hello all,
I have checked the forms and seen several threads about this but couldn't get to a conclusive answer so appreciate your help

I have recently started a permanent employment, however, I have been (and still is) a director of my limited company. I used to take salary (PAYE) and dividends via my limited company but stopped doing that from the moment I started my permanent employment. I am non-EEA national.

I have been filling self assessment every year for years. looking at the AN guide, there is nothing specifically mentioned as to what to include as a Director of a limited company. They only talk about Self-employed applicants (which I am not) and ask for the "most recent HM Revenue & Customs Self-Assessment Statement of Account"

Couple of questions here please:
1 - I have seen people here saying they submitted company accounts and full self assessment records. Is that necessary? what documents are required in my case please?
2- The form only allows for one current job - I have added my permanent employment in the main form and added details of my directorship of the limited company in the notes at the end of the form. Is that correct?

Many thanks

You an employee of your LTD, just submit the same as a permie would - I just sent my p60s with the application. I have been a contractor for 11 years so thats all the employment details I added - approval came through last week with no questions.

Thank you - it’s odd they don’t ask for this in the documents section for neither regular employment nor limited company director... I read somewhere that all they want to see in terms of employment is that your tax is in order so was looking for the simplest way yo prove this without flooding them with documents....

You do not need to submit any extra documents. Just mention the employer’s PAYE ref in the online form when you were on payroll for your company.

Thank you Culinan! So just employment details in the form and tax office reference number (10 characters) and then they can look up the information online themselves correct?

Yes. HO will make their own checks. No documents needed in your case.

Thank you for confirming. Would the same still apply for a shareholder receiving dividends from the limited company (not a director and not on PAYE)?
The shareholder is also in full time employment elsewhere and files self assessment every year... Would we need to submit self assessment statement of account or similar for them? Many thanks

Yes, if taxes are not paid via PAYE, you need to submit latest self assessment statement of account.

Many thanks!
