Uk Experience 5 Points

[zen135]

Hello Experts,

I would be applying for Tier 1 General soon. I've done some work for an US client while based in the UK. The work was carried out in the UK and I was paid by the client through Banker's draft drawn in Pound Sterling, which was paid into my UK Bank Account. I never left the UK when the above work was carried out and paid for. I would be declaring and paying tax in the UK for this income.

Now, can the above payment be considered as 'UK earnings' under 'UK Experience' (in combination with other UK employment income) to gain 5 points or would this be considered as 'overseas income' ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
