I have a Lithuanian client who has been self employed since Jan 08, with a break of two months where she was an employee, and is now on some self granted maternity leave having had a baby last month. I have no concerns about r2r following CIS/1042/2008 save for some problems with evidence.
She made some sort of attempt to register her self employment with HMRC but this went wrong in some way. She did not keep any records or accounts and has not paid any tax, although she has a bill for unpaid NI. What sort of evidence can she provide to prove she was self employed and, for tax credits, what can she do about working out her income? She estimates that she made about £140 per week although her actual profit was probably less although her costs were probably not large. Anyone dealt with a case like this before and know how it should be approached?
