"How do I set a pay batch's Unique Taxpayer Reference?"

The Unique Taxpayer Reference, or UTR, is a 10-digit code that uniquely identifies you or your business. Your UTR is used by HMRC whenever HMRC is dealing with your tax.

To set a pay batch's UTR:

1. First, select the pay batch on: MenuPay batches
2. Then click: SettingsTax settings
3. Next, you'll need to decide if you're doing your Tax Filing as a company or a sole trader.
4. And then you can type in your 10-digit UTR code.
5. If you need help finding your UTR, click the link to HMRC's website, and rea d HMRC's advice.
6. And finally, click: Save

Keep in mind that:

• Each pay batch can have a different UTR, or all your pay batch's can all share the same UTR. It's up to you.
• Each time you click Pay now, your UTR is included, when your Tax Filing's sent to HMRC.
• Once the UTR is set, there normally isn't any reason to change it.
• If you're still waiting for your UTR to be sent to you, from HMRC, you can still run Pay now as long as you've set up your HMRC connection.
