What is a Company Unique Taxpayer Reference Number?

The UTR or Unique Taxpayer Reference is an important reference number for your business, however it’s not as easy to find as say your company number! This is because your company UTR is not public information and you should not make it publicly available. You will normally only need your company UTR for submitting information to and corresponding with HMRC about your company tax affairs.
