Who needs an UTR number in the UK?
A UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference) number is essential for individuals and businesses in the UK who have tax obligations. Issued by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), the UTR number ensures proper identification for tax-related processes.
If you work as a freelancer, contractor, or sole trader, you need a UTR number to file your Self Assessment tax return and report your income.
Directors of limited companies must file self-assessment tax returns for their personal income, making a UTR number mandatory.
Partners in a business partnership require UTR numbers to report their share of income to HMRC.
If you earn income outside of regular employment (e.g., rental income, dividends, or overseas income), you’ll need a UTR number to declare it.
Non-UK residents earning taxable income in the UK must register for self-assessment and obtain a UTR number.
Registered businesses, including limited companies, receive a unique UTR number for corporate tax purposes.
