Frequently asked questions

If you don't have six months of salary credits, you may use one of the following:

  • Most recent Personal Tax Return and Notice of Assessment (NOA)
  • One payslip showing more than six months YTD income
  • One payslip showing less than six months YTD income and most recent PAYG payment summary statement, tax-ready income statement or tax return

If you don't have financial records showing profit and loss for the last two years, you'll need a letter from your accountant (on their company letterhead) confirming your business has:

  • Sufficient profits to meet business commitments
  • Traded profitably for the last two years

If you’re self-employed and not eligible for simple income verification, you'll need to provide extra documentation. This may include:

  • Standard ID
  • Personal tax returns from the last two years and your latest notice of assessment (NOA), or a letter from your accountant confirming that tax returns are final and have been lodged with the ATO
  • Business tax returns from the most recent year
  • Most recent business financial statements, showing profit and loss for the last two years

This list is a general guide. Talk to a Home Lending Specialist to find out what documents you’ll need.

Examples of self-employed borrowers include:


  • Sole traders (individuals running a business in their own name)
  • Business partnerships (two or more people operating a business together)
  • Companies (businesses registered as a company (Pty Ltd), even if you're the sole director
  • Trusts (including discretionary or family trusts, where income is distributed to beneficiaries)


If you earn your income through any of these structures, you're considered self-employed for the purpose of a home loan.

    * Comparison rate calculated on a $150,000 secured loan over a 25 year term. WARNING: Comparison rate is true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate. Comparison rates for variable Interest Only loans are based on an initial 5-year Interest Only period. Comparison rates for fixed Interest Only loans are based on an initial Interest Only period equal in length to the fixed period. During an Interest Only period, your Interest Only payments will not reduce your loan balance. This may mean you pay more interest over the life of the loan.

    Calculations are not a loan approval. Applications are subject to credit approval, satisfactory security and minimum deposit requirements. Conditions apply to all loan options. Full terms and conditions will be set out in our loan offer, if an offer is made. Fees and charges are payable. Interest rates are subject to change. You should also read our Financial Services Guide.
