I am in the process of getting everything ready for my SET(O) application appointment in November. In the proof or earnings section it states that 'Self-employed' need to provide a letter from their accountant. What information needs to be included in this letter?

My current situation is that I am registered as a Sole Trader and have been trading for just over a year. I have one main contract for which I get paid monthly and also a couple of other smaller freelance clients.

I will be claiming income from the period 01 Oct - 31 Sept. For this period I will have my 12/13 accounts that my accountant has prepared and submitted to HMRC This covers the first 6 months but what do I need from my accountant to show for the remaining 6 months?

I will also be supplying bank statements (showing payments and NI), invoices and am also considering getting letters form the companies I work for confirming how much they have paid me.

Is there anything else I might need?

Thanks
