Hello guys,
I have a question regarding earning points for HSMP. I am from PAKISTAN(Country Band D). I am working as a full time employee in software company and can show the payslips of last 12 months. Besides my job I also work on various projects(freelance) which I usually get from freelancing sites like freelancer.com, odesk.com or from my clients.
My Question is can I show earnings for my freelance projects along with my employment salary slips? If I combine my job salary and my projects earning then I can meet the earning requirement for HSMP. For freelance projects I can show bank statement and my projects history.
Seniors please advice..
Thanks.

Yes, you can claim your free lance income by providing following documents:
1. Invoices issued to your clients
2. Your bank stateemnts confirming payments from clients credited in
3. Reference letter from professional registered accountant confirming your gross income and net income for the claimed period
4. Evidence of registraton of business with tax authorities in your countries.
5. Letter from your clients confirming that they made payments to you (not mandatory but good if you can provide)
6. Evidence of tax return (not mandatory but better if you can provide)
If you can provide first 4 then be assured you will be alright.

Thanks dear for reply.
May I ask where are u from? I have one more question. I am from Pakistan so I want to know the points table for previous earnings for pakistanis. I have seen the country code list with earning scales on some sites. I would like to confirm this from UK official immigration site. Please forward me that link if you have.
It will be great if you can share ur personal IM email in PM. I would like to have a chat with you.
Please update.
Thanks.

Thanks again for your reply.
I have seen the things you have highlighted for claiming freelancing earnings. Out of that list I only dont have tax related documents ready. I can show letter from clients, invoices, bank statement, etc.. but I dont have tax documents ready now. Would it be ok for embassy? Please give me solution of this if you can.
Thanks.
