After a period of inactivity in my UK business, I realized my UTR number might no longer be active. I started wondering how to reactivate it—would I need to contact HMRC, provide updated business details, or complete any specific forms to get it back in use?
If your UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference) number has become inactive—typically due to not filing Self-assessment tax returns for a prolonged period—it can be reactivated when you resume filing your taxes.
Contact HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and notify them that you intend to restart filing Self Assessment tax returns.
You may need to provide your UTR number, National Insurance number, and other personal details for verification.
If HMRC has deactivated your Self Assessment account, you may need to re-register online to resume filing tax returns under your existing UTR number.
Once reactivated, you can file your overdue or current tax returns to bring your records up to date.
After submitting your tax return, HMRC will automatically reactivate your UTR number for future tax-related correspondence.
