Benefits of using 1 year tax returns

Providing only one years’ tax return when applying for a loan is easier than providing 2 years’ worth of tax returns traditionally requested from most lenders. This policy allows you use you the ability to do the following;

  • Minimise paper work
  • Simplified credit assessment
  • Use company profits in servicing assessment
  • Use addbacks in the most recent years tax return
  • Access the medical professional home loan package
  • Use most recent year’s income rather than averaging the 2 previous years which in most cases usually brings you lower average income. If you had previous year loss, this could negatively affect your overall servicing position.
