SEIS query

In March 2018 I invested a very small amount in a Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and received a certificate from the organisation.

I've realised that I can claim tax relief on this investment and have the correct form.

On this claim form there is a box to insert the name of my tax office, however I can't find out which this is. A search online suggested using the first three digits on my payslip tax reference (for me) though using that - 961 - yields nothing.

How can I find out this information please? Or do I send the form to HMRC in Newcastle?

Thanks

    This is the address for general income tax enquiries:

    Pay As You Earn and Self Assessment
    HM Revenue and Customs

    United Kingdom

    You'll need to quote you NINO if you're an employee on PAYE. Include your tax ref if you've got a recent notice of coding, or if its on your payslip.

    They may put you on self-assessment to claim this tax relief, as they did to me when I last tried to claim tax relief on a VCT investment (though in previous tax years they just sent me a P800 tax calculation and a cheque).
