What is a UTR number?

Описание: A UTR number (Unique Taxpayer Reference number) is a ten-digit code that is used to identify you or your business.
How many types of UTR numbers are there?

There are three different types of UTR numbers, depending on your business' type:

Individual UTR;
Partnership UTR;
Corporation UTR.

You must have a UTR number if you are:

Self-employed / a sole trader;
Filing a Self-Assessment tax return;
A construction worker signing up for the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS);
Working with someone who manages your personal finances;
A business owner and have set up a Limited Company;
Owe tax on savings, capital gains or dividends;
Earn more than £100,000 a year.

If you are in a business partnership, then both of you must have UTR numbers and a separate company UTR number.


Apply for your UTR number online with HMRC directly by registering for self-assessment on their website.

It takes up to 10 working days to get a new one. After you receive it, you need to activate it with an activation code, which will take a further week to arrive.
