Along with your name and date of birth, HMRC uses unique reference numbers to help them your tax records. A Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number is a 10-digit reference number which identifies your business.
Where do I find my UTR number?
UTR stands for Unique Taxpayer Reference and, like the name suggests, this is a unique code issued by HMRC when someone sets up a business. You might also hear it called a ‘tax reference’. Depending on what sort of business structure you run, you might have more than one UTR.
You’ll normally be sent a UTR number after incorporating a new company, or as a result of registering yourself or another entity (such as a partnership) for Self Assessment. Some people need to apply for more than one UTR number. For example, if you set up a company and you’re the only director and shareholder:
Your UTR number is usually shown on any letters or emails between you and HMRC. Just make sure that you use the correct one!
If you can’t find any letters or documents from HMRC with your UTR on, you might be able to find it by signing into your Personal Tax Account. If you still struggle to find it, contact HMRC as soon as possible, especially if you’re getting near to your tax return deadline.
