Tier 1 extention-Do we need to send Invoices ?

[poojabhatt]

Hi all,

I Was going thro the guidance notes for applications before 06/04/2013 and I noticed this clause:

"x) Where an applicant is submitting a combination of bank statements and a letter/invoice summary from their accountant, they must also provide any invoices generated during the period for which earnings are being claimed."

Page 24 of the Policy Guidance PDF and/or Tier 1 (General) Policy Guidance version 12/2012 Page 63 of 77.

I have send the following documents for claiming points for previous earnings:

a) Bank Statement/s for the period covering last 12 months.
b)Letter from the accountant explaining last 12 months earning including; sole trader accounts [P&L/ Balance Sheet].
c) Sale Invoice/Bank Receipt summaries from the accountant.
d) Letter confirming direct debit payment plan set up for class 2 NI contributions.
e) Self-employment NI bill.
f) Letter from the HMRC confirming the UTR number.

I am also sending them my self assessment tax return document from HMRC which shows the amount for which I am claiming points.

I have no problems sending them the Invoice/s even, but my question is:

According to the guidance notes should I have send them the invoice/s in the first place ?

Will they reject my application if they don't find the Invoices ?

My application was before 06/04/2013 & I am a sole trader only.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello poojabhatt,
If you have all the invoices generated during your 12months business transactions, why don't you send them all to HO in support of your application.

I applied few months ago as a company director and I sent all my invoices generated during the 12months period I claimed. And my application was approved without asking for any more documentary evidence.

""Hope this helps""
