Note: There may be certain circumstances where we are delayed in posting these documents, i.e. during COVID-19 when the government guidance was to work from home. In this instance we were returning to the office fortnightly to post items. Do get in touch if you are experiencing exceptional delays on receipt.
How do I get my UTR (unique taxpayer reference) number?
Once the formation has been accepted by Companies House, they will notify HMRC so there's usually no need to contact HMRC yourself. Within a few weeks, HMRC should write to the company's Registered Office address confirming the UTR number and letting you know what the company needs to do next.
