Many UK banks use SA302 and your Tax Overview information to assess your self-employed financial status

If you’re self-employed, you may need to provide your bank with an SA302 tax calculation to apply for a mortgage or other financial product. This is because banks use this information to assess your financial status and ability to repay debts.

The SA302 shows your income from self-employment, as well as any tax you owe. Banks use this information to calculate your monthly disposable income and assess your risk as a borrower.
