UTR and invoices Auteur du fil: Ana Belén Cruz Sánchez
|
Hello, I have just moved to Glasgow and I have started the process to register as self-employed. I have already received my UTR number but I still have to register with the Government Gateway. Can I start to send invoices now that I have my UTR or do I need to wait until I have been register also in the Government Gateway? Do I have to put the UTR number on my invoices? Thank you in advance | | |

There is no need to put your UTR on your invoices (at least I never have). You can start sending out your invoices now - just make sure all your income is recorded on your tax return. Hope this helps. (I am not a tax inspector nor have I ever played one on TV!! ) | | |

(I am not a tax inspector nor have I ever played one on TV!! ) I'm not a tax inspector either. I would go further than Samantha: you should NOT put your UTR on your invoices. Your UTR is personal to you. As Samantha says - you can start invoicing immediately without waiting to get all of your affairs in order. Fortunately we are only one-third of the way into the Tax Year (05 April 2017 - 05 April 2018) so you have plenty to time to get yourself organised. | | |

I've been putting it on all my invoices. Most probably because for me as a self-employed translator, there is no other form of registration of my "company". Recently, I registered with one of the online directories for freelancers and outsourcers. I was asked for a proof that I am a company registered in the UK... and the only thing I could provide is the UTR. But going back to your question, Ana - same advice here, the most important thing for you as a sole-trader is to register your income at the end of the tax year. | | |

If you are registered for self-assessment with HMRC you should be able to log in here: https://www.gov.uk/self-assessment-tax-returns After 05 April 2018, when you log in, you will find your Tax Return ready to be filled in. | | |
