As credit/mortgage companies are often interested in a person's /gross/ income[0], there's an arguement for treating self-employed/controlling directors of one-man companies the same way.

How the rest of the turnover (i.e. gross profit) is spent is up to them.
Has anyone heard of a mortgage company wanting to know what someone's P11D benefit for a company car was? Or how much they put into a pension? What tax relief they claim?
