Self employed, HMRC problem.

[Scoticus]

Hi

I am starting a job next week and have been told I need to register for self assessment and for a UTR number.

Registering was fine, but where do I find my UTR?

I have looked on the HMRC page and not been able to find this information, I tried calling but after 35 minutes of being on hold I have given up.

Can anybody help?

TIA

You won't have a UTR unless you have previously submitted a SA return, so don't worry, they will send it to you by post

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/sa/register.htm

Getting a reference number

Once you've registered for Self Assessment, HMRC will set up your records and send you a letter with a ten-digit reference, called a Unique Taxpayer Reference or UTR. You should keep your Unique Taxpayer Reference in a safe place.

Thank you!
I can stop worrying now
