A UTR (unique taxpayer reference) number is a 10-digit number that is essential for every taxpayer in the UK to file a Self Assessment tax return. The process of obtaining a UTR number can take up to 20 working days, so it's important to apply as soon as possible.

To register for a UTR number, you will need to provide your personal information, including your name, date of birth, and address. You'll also need to provide information about your income and business activities, as well as any other sources of income, such as rental properties or investments.

To apply for a UTR number, you can either register online with HMRC or by filling out a paper form. If you choose to register online, you will need to provide your National Insurance number and other personal information. If you choose to fill out a paper form, you can download it from the HMRC website or request a form to be sent to you by mail.

Once you've applied for a UTR number, you will receive a letter from HMRC with your unique reference number. It's important to keep this number safe, as you will need it to file your Self Assessment tax return each year.
