No, Income Tax Return (ITR) documents are not mandatory for a UK student visa application.

You must show evidence of sufficient funds - such as bank statements or official financial sponsorship letters - to cover tuition fees and living expenses. ITRs are optional, but including them can strengthen your application by showing financial stability if you have them available.

If you have questions about which financial documents to submit, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
