Tax Reference number

Hi Seniors,

Looks like ~I misunderstood Tax reference number as UTR number and submitted the application. Later found out that the Tax reference number as asked in the application should be the PAYE reference number. I am worried will this affect my application. Any suggestion please as this is the genuine mistake as a lot of people confused with Tax reference number.

No issues. Just add a note in the cover letter and upload with your documents before biometrics.

If you have submitted biometrics already, send HO an email.

This is not something that can result in a refusal anyways.

Hello I'm about to submit my application and also thought my tax reference Number was my UTR untill i saw your post

Can you please tell me what tax reference Number is? I have been self employed for 3 years before that was PAYE

I have Just messaged my accountant and told me tax reference Number is the UTR
So I'll keep it as it is
Not sure how did you think you are wrong?

It is because you are registered as self-employed and do not have a limited company. If you have a limited company UTR is for the company, and the PAYE ref is the tax reference for the employer.

Hi Seniors,

After submitting the form I was directed to book a UKVAS appointment, However, while filing the form it was mentioned that if a candidate biometric is already available in the system because of previous visa applications then the candidate need not attend the biometric appointment. Hence I want to know whether I should wait for there email regarding this or shall I go ahead and book the appointment.
Thanks in advance.

You need to book an appointment.
