If you have been empolyed for five years, you dont have to provide P60 (I think they will check with HMRC directly, but not positive if they will). I you have been self-employed, then you do have to provide self assessment.

The application guidance have the list of evidence you need to provide. No resaon to preovide information they havent asked for.
