What is the schedule d number? Is it the same as Unique Taxpayer Reference? If not, what is it?

Where are you being asked for this?

It could be the UTP, but then it could be the Employer's Tax reference. Tell us what form or who's asking for it and why and we can try to figure out what's needed.

My OH has been asked for this on a form that he has to fill in giving tax and payment details for a job he is about to start - he is a self employed actor and has only just received his first tax return. There is a 10 digit number on the tax return and we gather it is the UTR but try as I might, searching round the HMRC website, I can't work out what the schedule d reference number actually is!

Yes, it's the UTR. For some reason, the acting profession refers to the UTR as a "Schedule D number", which most of us don't recognise!

My previous post about the employer's tax reference was pants - sorry, it's late! Schedule D is the part of the 1988 tax act that refers to income for those who are self employed or in partnership. Income from employment i.e. where you are an employee arises under Schedule E.

Hello,
I am PigginSkint's OH. Thank you very much! We could not get any straight advice from the jargon on HMRC site!

CheersX:D

Schedule D was the system under which the self employed paid their tax prior to SA. As Schedule D ceased in 1997 / 1998 .... the forms are a little out of date! The Reference format for 'D' was wholly different for that to SA. The only 'conversion' between the two is (was?) on the HMRC systems and - from memory - not visible to the outside world.

The UTR is the 10 numerics suffixed by a 'K' .... that you will find on your SA Return and other SA material.

And don't forget that Schedule D had cases - cases I and II and case III.
Then there was Schedule A, schedule E, oh happy days.

And don't forget that Schedule E had cases too - case I, case II and case III. Happy days indeed......I think that we're showing our age :D
