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

My experience Jun 29, 2017

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'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 never knew that, thanks Tom. 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.
