self-employed - can't find proof of income

ender4

I'm sorting out a mortgage for a house that i'm in the process of buying.

My Wife is self-employed (sole trader), and so i need to provide the mortgage company with last 3 years accounts as proof of income.

I've dug out 06/07 & 07/08, but i can't seem to find a copy of 08/09 accounts.

I've logged into the Self-assessment website, but you can only see the last set of accounts, & we have already submitted 09/10.

How do i find out & prove the income for 08/09 now that i don't seem to have a copy of the accounts.

We didn't use an accountant, so nobody else has a copy.

Help!

Have you the self assessment forms from the HMRC showing the tax and nic due?

This will at least substantiate the profit.

It may be worth you calling HMRC and asking them to sending them through to you.

That would be the SA302 form.

Call HMRC and see if they can send you a copy of full return if you need it.

i don't have the actual self-assessment form as that was done online, but i do have the letter from HMRC showing how much tax is payable on what date.

That might just work - i will try it.

I recently called HMRC and spoke to really helpful lady who was kind enough to photo copy and send to me my last 10 yrs returns...Excellant service and I couldnt fault them..
