Having to show evidence of her tax payments may later come up with the Visa Officer but it may not. Start the process with what is listed above.

I am applying for spousal sponsorship. I am self employed as i m handing the branch of my partner. The business is registered with my partner name. So what documents shall i provide in my spousal application? In the document checklist, its written if you are self employed, you need to provide supported financial documents.
Please let me know what documents should I put in my application?

Thanks
