What Is an SA302 and Why Do Mortgage Lenders Request It?
An SA302 is a tax calculation document provided by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) summarising your income and tax paid for a specific tax year. Mortgage lenders often request SA302 forms to verify your income, especially if you're self-employed, a company director, or have income outside of traditional employment. These documents help lenders assess your ability to repay the mortgage.
Who Typically Needs an SA302?
You may need to provide SA302 forms if you are:
Self-employed
A company director
A contractor or freelancer
Receiving income from property rentals or investments
Lenders usually require SA302s from the last two or three tax years.
