What Is a UTR Number?

Common Questions

UTR Number FAQs

Do I need a UTR if I'm newly self-employed? ▾
Yes. HMRC requires you to register for Self Assessment as soon as you begin self-employed work — even if your income is below the Personal Allowance. The registration deadline is 5 October in the tax year following the one you started trading.
How long does HMRC take to issue a UTR? ▾
HMRC typically issues the UTR letter within 10 working days of processing your application. Tax2u submits your application promptly, and you’ll usually receive your UTR within 10 working days.
Can I get my UTR number faster? ▾
HMRC does not offer an expedited UTR service. All letters are sent by standard post. Tax2u gets your application to HMRC without delay, and you can expect to receive your UTR within 10 working days.
What if I've already lost my UTR number? ▾
Check any HMRC Self Assessment letter, your SA100, or log into gov.uk/personal-tax-account. You can also call the HMRC Self Assessment helpline (0300 200 3310) to confirm it. If you have a Tax2u account, your UTR is stored securely there.
