- Your last year’s tax return.
- If you don’t have the required above evidence, some lenders may treat your loan as a ‘low doc' loan and ask you for your business bank account statements, Business Activity Statements (BAS) or a declaration of income letter from an accountant.
How much can I borrow?
Most lenders treat Uber drivers as either; self-employed or second-job Uber drivers.
- Self-employed Uber drivers can borrow up to 95% of the value of the property.
- Where Uber is your second job, the amount you are able to borrow will depend on the portion of income this is of the total income that you earn.
- You will be able to borrow for investment loans and owner-occupied purposes.
- There is no difference in interest rates between a self-employed driver or one receiving Uber income as a second job.
What do banks classify Uber income as?
- Most banks will treat income earned from Uber either as a main source of income (so self-employed or as a second job)
- To calculate your income each lender takes a different approach; particularly when they treat your Uber income as self-employed income
- Where your earn Uber income as a second source of income, most lenders will usually only accept 50% of this income to use as part of your application, however, we can connect you with a lender who will use 100% of your income (as long as you have been driving Uber for at least one year); which could be the ultimate difference between the success of your loan!
