Will the HMRC email a copy of SA302?

So, it has just come to our attention that as part of our mortgage application my partner is missing one year from his SA302 self assessment calculation. The form cannot be downloaded from the gateway website as he filed this particular year via post. I have seen people saying the HMRC have faxed copies over to their mortgage advisor but ours doesn't have a fax!

What are the chances I could talk someone into scanning and emailing it (to the email address on the tax returns and which the HMRC have on file) so we can get it to Halifax tomorrow?

Our valuation is Monday and would have liked a mortgage offer right away. Without the form it could be another week :(

Thoughts? Thanks for reading

    My experience of HMRC is that you will be lucky to even get to speak to anyone there.

    As for getting them to first find, and then scan & email the form? The same day? :rotfl:

    if you want it mailed , it can take 2+ weeks, sometimes longer, find a fax number you can use and give it to the advisor is another option.

    Can you not have it faxed to your solicitor or estate agent? I'm sure they would be happy to accommodate if you explained?

    Or does someone you know have access to a fax machine at work?

    We had our mortgage valuation on a Friday and it wasn't even looked at for a week - so it depends if they plan on looking at the valuation and offering quickly?
    The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

    Thanks guys! I am seriously sleep deprived at the moment (cluster feeding 4 month old + 2 year old with chicken pox) so didn't even think about the solicitors. Will ring them at 9am and then ring the self assessment hot line!

    O I remember those days well, as if cluster feeding and sleep deprivation aren't bad enough now you've got this to sort!
    Fingers crossed you get sorted!

    Or there are plenty of fax to email gateways. Though I'm not sure what the urgency is, if the valuation hasn't even been done yet?

    So u spoke to a lovely guy who said he would fax over he docs immediately he had em printed on his desk and wrote the cover letter with me on the phone. Then he said he was going to fax them......

    5 minutes later got another call and some JOBSWORTH in his office has reported him and I got a call back from him to say he is sorry he did not follow procedure and cannot fax them because his effing colleague stopped him at the fax machine.

    I have asked for a call back from a manager because he is now adamant it's against their policy to fax
