Another Earnings query - wage slips

[kinjiru]

I am planning to show my UK earnings from Sept 05 - Sept 06 but some of my wage slips (3) are missing. I plan to use my tax return (P60) up to march this year plus Bank statements for the 12 month period.

I know the rules are not fully clear but can anyone offer me their views on the documents and wether this should be sufficient.

Thank you

P60, payslips and bank statements will be strong evidence for the monies your claiming for. Another supporting doc would be a letter from your company stating that you've earned so much y-t-d.

Thanks MArkie. I think for me, the issue of extra evidence is confusing at this point.

For one, the rules state you cannot submit any of the other evidence (bank statements or letter from employee) unless you claim exceptional circumstances...

On the other hand, a section of the rules state if he tax return presented does not cover the full year claimed then extra evidence is required..

Which is somewhat contradictory..

Unless ofcourse it is okay to submit those extra evidence when you want to support the two primary ones requested (tax return or wage slips) as you seem to agree with below

Anyone else has views on this? thanx

Bruv,
what i seem to make of this is that if yr 12 month period is not exactly overlapped by tax yr ONLY then can u submit bank statements to cover then non covered months specifically + other months as well.

Payslips need to be given as well.... as 2 forms of evidence are required....
so yr 2 primary forms will be payslips + incomplete tax info..+ suppl form in form of bankstatements tallying with net input of payslips.

What i think is company letter only works for exceptional cases and fancily enough for them exceptional means ... world war iii, drought , plague, aliens entering earth etc....

Yes umesh, this is what I mean. Extra evidence is needed if the tax year does not cover the full year claimed, as the rules states. So one would assume they mean that your bank statements are needed.

There is however a section of the rules that states that you cannot submit bank statements unless you claim exceptional circumstances. Meaning in all cases you must submit your wage slips + tax return.

Hope you see the contradiction.

Except you interpret that it is only ok to submit bank statements as support when you've submitted your tax return + wage slips also..

Do you agree with this assessment.

The 3 missing wage slips also give cause for concern for me

If the documentary evidence overlaps a tax period, then the P60 covering a certain portion of the tax period will suffice plus the payslips for that period will be enough as evidence. For the remaining period that is not covered by a P60, then your best doc evidence will be payslips and bank statements. This is what the WP-LTR team told me when I asked.

If you're still in doubt, the best thing is to send a query to the Work Permits LTR team. They are quite fast in responding to individual questions such as this one. You can send an email to them at:

wpukltr@ind.homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

Almost a next day response is sent to the person asking the query.
