Unique Tax Reference & second job

kwalia

Hi,

I'm trying to wrap my head around my tax paying and any help would be very appreciated!

I'm in my second year of self-employment and I also currently have a full time job with a temp agency working 35 hours pw. I received a UTR (unique tax reference) from gov.uk when I applied for self-employment.

My question is to do with my temp agency. On their website, on my personal details tab, there is an option to include my UTR. Should I do this? I'm concerned if I do, I may have to pay more tax than i'm doing already? Should I have included this anyway? Or could there be a chance that I could end up paying less tax and therefore receive a tax refund? (I didn't receive a rebate in April). Due to it being my second year in self-employment, i'm also required to make a mid-year payment by the 31st July. I'm wondering if I add my UTR, could this possibly change? I'm pretty new to all this and I manage all my books etc myself as it's only a small part time job. I've never been told by the temp agency or gov.uk to provide my UTR to the temp agency. What are your thoughts?

Thanks a lot!
Chris

I imagine they'll only want your UTR if you're down as being self employed with the temp agency, so probably best just to leave it blank if they're not pressing you for it.
