Self-employed mortgage applications

You can print a tax year overview from your HMRC online account. HMRC works with mortgage providers to encourage as many of them as possible to accept documents equivalent to the SA302 form that are printed from commercial software. If your mortgage provider will not accept this document printed from FreeAgent, you will need to request a paper copy of your SA302 from HMRC.
