A UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference) is a 10-digit number issued by HMRC to individuals or businesses when they register for tax services like Self Assessment or Corporation Tax. Your UTR serves as a unique identifier for you within HMRC’s systems, similar to an account number for your taxes.
Why is a UTR important?
If you’re self-employed or have to complete a Self Assessment, HMRC will require your UTR to process your tax return
PAYEback may need your UTR to correctly identify your tax records when submitting a rebate claim on your behalf
Without a UTR, HMRC won’t accept your tax submissions or rebate claims, making it an essential part of the tax process
If you're not sure where to find your UTR, it’s typically included on documents like your Self Assessment tax return, your online HMRC account, or official correspondence from HMRC. By sharing your UTR with PAYEback, we can ensure your tax rebate claim is processed correctly and efficiently.
