Corporation Tax Registration (UTR Support)
If you have recently formed a limited company, you need to register for Corporation Tax with HMRC and obtain your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR). This service takes care of the registration, checks the details HMRC rely on, and confirms you are correctly set up for future Corporation Tax filings and payments.
More information
What Corporation Tax Registration (UTR Support) covers
Getting Corporation Tax registration right from the start helps you avoid missed deadlines, lost post, and confusion about what HMRC expect. This service is designed to get your company registered cleanly and to give you clear next steps.
- Confirming whether and when you need to register (based on when the company starts trading)
- Collecting the required company and contact details for HMRC
- Completing the Corporation Tax registration process with HMRC
- Handling common issues (for example, delays, missing letters, or mismatched details)
- Confirming your UTR has been issued and recorded
- Providing a simple summary of key deadlines and what you will need to do next
When this service is most useful
This support is a good fit if you are:
- Newly incorporated and ready to start trading
- Already trading but not sure whether HMRC have your company on record
- Waiting for a UTR letter and need a plan to move things forward
- Setting up a company for a contract, agency work, consulting, ecommerce, or a trade business and want compliance handled properly
How the process works
You will be guided through a short, structured process to keep things moving.
- Initial check: confirm your incorporation details and when trading started (or will start).
- Information request: you provide the minimum details needed to register and to ensure HMRC contact details are correct.
- Registration submission: we complete the Corporation Tax registration steps with HMRC.
- Confirmation: once HMRC issue the UTR, you get confirmation and a clear explanation of what it is used for.
What happens after you receive your UTR
Once your UTR is in place, you can focus on running the business with a clearer view of your compliance timetable. If you want ongoing support, the next steps usually include bookkeeping setup, tracking income and costs, and planning ahead for your first year end, statutory accounts, and the Corporation Tax return (CT600).
