TRA assessment -question about self employment

[nikkiwd]

Hi there, we have almost gathered all the evidence needed for my hubby's tra assessment (he is a chef) but as the last 3 years are self employed we need some extra stuff. it states in the list of required documents that we have to send a business registration certificate but we dont have one. our business is a partnership and not limited so we never had to register it. Any ideas what to send instead?

thanks

Hello nikkiwd, I was self employed when I did my TRA also not a ltd company I was self employed sub contractor for over 10 years.

i had to send them evidence to prove this so I sent my last 5 yrs worth of books and a letter from my accountant to prove they were genuine. Also bank statements going back as far as I could get to prove that I was being paid by contractors and I got a statement from the inland revenue to show I had been paying tax & N.I. With this the TRA were happy so with you as it's only 3 yrs should be easy enough I sent 4 bank statements per year again just to show I was being paid that's the thing they want the most prove off so they know your getting paid for your trade they are assessing

good luck

Just reading the above statement and couldnt agree more.Im self employed and because i sub contract we sent out all my documentation from my accountant and a headed letter from him which obviously sufficed as we just passed the TRA 23/01!!
