went to see my new accountant yesterday with the financial requirements I need as a self employed person for a fiancé visa and other tax stuff, at the end he handed back the paperwork saying when I know what I need come back, not interested then as I had just told him they were all on the paperwork ive handed him, Off to see a new accountant this morning one that might be more interested and helpful wish me luck.
Graham would probably know. But I would have thought that something along the lines of what you have to produce already for the tax people including what you pay yourself. The UKVI are wanting you to prove you can support the applicant(s). See section 9 of this document: 9. Self-employment or Director of a specified limited company in the UK Annex 1.7 Financial Requirements
