Company UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference)
Please note that your company must first have a UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference) in order to register for VAT or PAYE. If you have not yet received your Company's UTR then please fill in the form below only once you have received the UTR from HMRC (usually within 14 days of registering your company).
Value-added Tax (VAT). Most companies register for VAT voluntarily, but your company must register for VAT with HMRC if its turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold of £90,000 or is expected to exceed this figure in the next 30 days.
PAYE (“Pay As You Earn”). Every limited company must register with HMRC to set up its payroll, which deducts income tax and national insurance contributions from the salaries paid to all staff employed by the company.
You must register your company for PAYE before your employees’ first payday, and it can take up to 2 weeks to get your PAYE reference number as an employer. On the other hand, you may not register for more than two months before you begin to pay staff.
