Foreign tax returns, assessments and tax certificates translated in full for UKVI, UK mortgage lenders and accountants. From £15.59 per page.
A tax return is the one income document an official body has already checked, which is why everyone else likes it so much. UKVI leans on it for self-employed applicants, lenders ask for it when your income isn't a simple salary, and your UK accountant needs to read it when you've paid tax abroad. If yours is a Spanish Declaración de la Renta, a French avis d'imposition or a Polish PIT, it needs a certified English translation before any of them can use it.
We translate returns and assessments in full, every box, code and figure, for spouse visa financial evidence, mortgage applications and accountants. If you're employed rather than self-employed, you'll more likely need payslip translation as your main income evidence.

Usually in one of three situations: a visa application where you rely on self-employment or other non-salary income, a mortgage application with self-employed or foreign income, or a UK tax matter where your accountant or HMRC needs to see what you declared and paid abroad.
Each audience reads the return for a different reason. UKVI uses it to confirm income you've declared to an official body. A lender uses it to confirm income is sustainable over time. An accountant uses it to work out what foreign tax you've paid and how that interacts with your UK position.
The translation is the same document in each case, a full certified English version, so one order can often serve more than one purpose. Few documents get read by this many professionals for this many reasons; it's the tax return's moment in the sun.
Yes, if they're not in English. Self-employment income for the spouse visa financial requirement is assessed over full financial years and evidenced with documents including tax returns and proof of tax paid, so any foreign-language returns and assessments need certified translation.
The self-employed routes under Appendix FM look at income over the last full financial year, or an average of the last two, rather than recent payslips. The evidence list is longer than for employed sponsors and typically includes tax returns, evidence of tax paid, business bank statements and, depending on the business, accounts. Read the current Appendix FM-SE guidance for your exact list, or take advice, but expect every non-English document on it to need translating.
The distinction between a return and an assessment matters. The return is what you declared; the assessment (a French avis d'imposition, a German Steuerbescheid) is the authority's confirmation of it. Where you have both, translating both gives a caseworker the strongest evidence.
Yes, if they're in another language. Lenders assessing self-employed or foreign income usually want to see the income you declared to the tax authority, often over more than one year, and their underwriters can only rely on documents they can read.
For self-employed borrowers, UK lenders typically ask for tax calculations or accounts covering recent years. If your income is taxed abroad, the equivalent documents are your foreign returns and assessments. Employed borrowers paid abroad may also be asked for an annual tax certificate to confirm their payslips, for example an Italian Certificazione Unica or a Polish PIT-11.
Your broker will tell you how many years the lender wants. See mortgage document translation for the rest of the pack lenders usually ask for.
Often, yes. If you have foreign income and want relief for tax already paid abroad, your accountant needs to see what you declared and paid, and HMRC can ask for evidence. A certified translation lets them rely on the figures without second-guessing the original.
UK residents with income from abroad, such as rental income from a flat in Lisbon, a pension from Germany or a business in Poland, may need to report it on their UK Self Assessment return. Where tax has already been paid abroad, relief may be available, but someone has to show what that foreign tax was. That evidence is usually a foreign return or assessment.
We don't give tax advice, and we don't interpret your return: we translate it accurately and completely, so your accountant has a reliable English version to work from. Going the other way, with UK tax documents for a German authority? See sworn tax return translation for Germany.
Tax return translation costs from £15.59 per page of the original. Short assessments are often one or two pages; full returns with schedules can run longer. Every language is charged at the same rate.
Returns vary a lot in length. A French avis d'imposition is usually a few pages; a Spanish Modelo 100 printout or an Italian Modello Redditi with business schedules can be considerably longer, as tax forms are designed by people who never met a box they didn't want to number. Upload the documents for an instant quote: you'll see the page count and total before you pay.
The price includes the statement of accuracy, translator details and PDF delivery within 24 business hours. Same-day rush is £29.99 per page.
Every box and figure certified in English — from £15.59 per page.
Ideally both. The return shows what you declared; the assessment is the tax authority's confirmation. If you can only provide one, the assessment is often the stronger evidence because it's officially issued.
Yes. Field labels, box numbers and codes are kept and translated so the English version can be checked against the original line by line.
No. Amounts stay in the original currency as printed. UKVI, lenders and HMRC each apply their own exchange rate.
Yes. PDF downloads from portals such as the Spanish Agencia Tributaria or the Chinese individual income tax app are fine, as are scans and clear photos.
Yes. Profit and loss statements, balance sheets and other business records that support a return can be translated in the same order at the same per-page rate.
We translate; we don't advise. Where a term has no direct UK equivalent we add a short translator's note, but for advice on how the figures are assessed, speak to an immigration adviser, broker or accountant.
It depends on who's asking. Self-employed spouse-visa evidence usually covers one or two full financial years; lenders often want more than one year. Check with your adviser or broker before ordering.
For UKVI, a certified translation is enough: the Home Office doesn't require notarisation. Most lenders and accountants accept certified translations too; if a particular body asks for notarisation, we offer that separately.
