Independent Contractor "EVIDENCE FOR EARNING ?"

[pantaiema]

This is quatation from case worker internal guidance:


"Independent contractors
If an applicant has been working as an independent contractor, they may not have wage slips to cover the period of employment. As such, they are required to submit specified, alternative documents to confirm that the total amount of earnings over the period claimed equals the amount that they are claiming points for.
Evidence is required in the form of the following:
• Income tax return;
• Copies of contracts covering amount claimed;
• Invoices from the employer covering the amount claimed;
• Bank statements showing incoming payments covering the amount claimed."

If the supporting evidence does not contain two forms of corroborating evidence which clearly demonstrate the applicant’s gross earnings for the period claimed, then the applicant should provide corroborating evidence from the list below:
• A covering letter from your accountant, on business letterhead, which confirms your gross and net earnings for the claimed earnings period;
• Invoice explanations/payment advices for the full period claimed.
The applicant may use a managing agent to deal with their financial affairs, if this is the case, the letter will also need to explain the relationship between the applicant and the managing agent.
