Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jessica Booker" data-source="post: 92428" data-attributes="member: 2672">I’m self employed and have to provide similar references so probably a good person to answer this from a candidate perspective and a recruitment perspective.If the roles were of a short nature and spread across different tax years, then the fact you earned under the tax threshold will be fairly self explanatory. Be mindful though that a tax return would still have to be completed if you earned more than £1,000 even if you didn’t need to pay tax and that the firm may ask you for your self assessment to show your earnings were under the limit. They could also still ask for a personal reference from any of your clients (I regularly get asked this) or ask for other forms of documentation, such as contracts/invoices/payments made online.How thorough they will be depends on the firm, what other references they can obtain and how this fits into your work profile. The more reliant you are on this for your work experience as a whole, the more likely they will dig into it.As a director of a company, the same logic applies. They will want to see either a form of tax return on the dividends earned, or potentially speak to someone like another director or the company’s accountant.This is actually quite common where lots of firms recruit self employed people (especially recently with the IR35 tax legislation changes) so firms will have a set of principles :standards they will work to for these reference processes.</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
