You typically need to register if you're self-employed, a partner in a partnership, a landlord, a company director with income to report (such as dividends), or you have other untaxed income. We assess your situation and register you if you need to.
You must usually register for Self Assessment by 5 October following the end of the tax year (which runs to 5 April) in which you first had income to report. Registering late can lead to a failure-to-notify penalty, so we register you in good time.
A Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) is the 10-digit number HMRC issues when you register for Self Assessment. You need it to file your tax return. We handle the registration so your UTR is set up correctly.
Often, yes — particularly if you receive dividends or other income that isn't fully taxed at source. We advise on whether you need to register and, if so, handle it for you, then help with your annual return.
