Proof of ending self-employment

[Menschik]

Hey all,

I searched and searched but coulnd find what I am looking for. Currently, I am self-employed in the UK, but I plan to end self-employment and move my business to a different EU country.

I did some research and I stumbled upon 1 problem that is preventing me to go any further. Health insurance companies in Slovakia request a proof of stopping the self-employment in the UK in order to register me in Slovakia.

Does HMRC provide such documentation? I couldnt find anything on their website and tax return isnt enough, as it doesnt exactly say I am/will be no longer self employed.

Any advice will be highly appreciated!
Thanks

Hey, trying to bump this thread. Anyone got any information?

Have you completed this on the website.

That isn’t proof of anything other than proof of someone filling out a form

Just like your reply is proof of nothing and even more useless?

 

[GTL]

Touchy.....

Proof would come from Hmrc, as a result of that form being submitted. Not the completion of the form itself.

It’s like me writing a cheque for a million quid. It’s proof I can write a cheque, not that I have a million quid.

So get over yourself!

Did I say that proof would come from HMRC by completing the form? Or are you just a presumptuous little so and so.

Get back to your day job.

You are being silly.

Your original post didn't answer the question. Now't wrong with me politely pointing that out.

You're right. I'm having a bad day.

Thank you - and if I upset you, my sincere apologies.

Good luck getting proof.

I have ended several self employed businesses and partnerships over the years. Don't think I ever had 'proof' from anyone.

 

[Menschik]

Wow, thanks for all the replies, though you didnt give me confidence I can get what I need :-/

 

[GTL]

Perhaps you should ask a Slovakian health insurance company what proof they actually need?

I mean, this forum is called UK Business Forum, not ‘relocate2slovakia . com’ isn’t it?

 

[Menschik]

@GTL Don't want to be disrespectful or anything, but this question is about a proof of ending self-employment in general. What it is used for is a another matter. If no one knows, then I and other people who were or still are self-employed in UK and facing similar issue, need to sort it out in a different way.

No one issues such a thing.... it would be impossible/worthless. Just because you may have stopped being self employed in the UK it doesn't mean you aren't working working self-employed somewhere else.

GTLs suggestion is a good one.... if these people want a document they must be able to give you an example of what they want and/or who would issue it. Ask them.
