Self employed income on financial disclosure form

Good morning

This is my first post 🙂

I'm just starting out on the mediation journey and need to complete the initial financial disclosure form. I have a question about the income/wages figure.

I am self employed and my income varies from month to month and year to year. I'm on track to earn more this year than last year. My question is, do I take my net income from my last tax return and use this as the figures are exact, or do I work out a rough calculation of what I might earn, expenses, tax and NI in the financial year ending April 25 and use this?

I don't want it to seem like I'm hiding my higher income, but if I use this year's figures it will be a total guess as I'm only half way through the financial year.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thank you
