Limited Company UTR

AlexLever17

Hi, I run an ecommerce brand and I need an EORI number in order to import goods into the UK. So I've registered the limited company yesterday in order to get a UTR as it's needed to get an EORI number. However, I can't see my limited company UTR online anywhere or in any email correspondence. HMRC said they can't tell me it over the phone for security reasons, but instead, they'll send a letter which will take 3 weeks to get to my house. I haven't really got 3 weeks to wait as we're already in Q4, so I could do with the EORI asap. Is this usual? is there always a gap between registering the company and receiving my UTR or am I just not looking in the right place?

Have you got access to Corp Tax for the company? The UTR shows in that area.

The EORI will be your VAT number with 000 at the end but you'll need to register.

You'll need to register to Customs Declaration Service and VAT postponement as well

I can't register for Corp tax without the UTR.

I'm not VAT registered, it'll be a while until I'm close to £85 in revenue so I assume i don't need to register for VAT postponement?
