Are you self employed and wanting to go for a mortgage – well we have some news!!
Many mortgage lenders now request a copy of the official HMRC tax calculation (SA302) as confirmation of income.
As the result of lobbying from the accounting profession, there has been a change of heart.
From January 2015, self-employed individuals with a self assessment online account can provide proof of their income by downloading copies of their Tax Calculation and their Tax Year Overview from the HMRC online service, which will be the evidence they need to support a mortgage application.
As our clients agents, we can print these documents on our clients behalf; these are acceptable to support your loan or mortgage application. There is still a conflict between planning to minimise income for tax purposes and declaring a higher level of income to support a mortgage application so let us know if you are planning to apply for a new mortgage.
