FAQs
CIS registration: do I need a UTR first?
Yes. HMRC will not register you as a CIS subcontractor without one, and until you are registered every contractor deducts 30% from your labour. So the order is: Self Assessment registration, wait for the UTR, then CIS registration. We run both back to back.
What is a UTR number for a company?
A separate 10 digit reference HMRC issues to the company itself for corporation tax, posted to the registered office about 14 days after incorporation. It is not the director’s personal UTR. A director who takes dividends needs their own UTR as well, through Self Assessment.
Is a UTR the same as my National Insurance number?
No. The NI number is letters and numbers (AB 12 34 56 C) and everyone who works in the UK has one. The UTR is 10 digits and only people or companies registered for tax filing have one.
I have registered but nothing has arrived. What now?
Allow the full 10 working days. After that we check with HMRC whether the registration went through, because a mismatch between your name, date of birth or NI number and HMRC’s record is the usual reason it stalls.
Can I file my return while I wait for the UTR?
No. The return cannot be submitted without it, which is why we register clients as soon as they start trading rather than at the year end.
