Where Is My Tax Office?

There are a number of tax offices that are located throughout the UK. The aim of this article is to help taxpayers looking for their tax office to find ways to locate it. Additionally, we will also explore relevant topics such as looking for one’s tax code or tax district.

Where Is My Tax Office?

If you wish to know where your tax office is located, you will need to look at your payslip. Your payslip mentions a PAYE reference number. The first three characters of this reference number indicate the location of your tax office. You can enter them on this link to get the complete contact details of your tax office.

Otherwise, you can also contact the HMRC at the following address for tax-related queries:

Pay As You Earn and Self Assessment

HM Revenue and Customs

If you want to lodge a tax-related complaint, you can also contact the relevant department at HMRC. Below are their contact details:

If you intend to visit your tax office, it is recommended to first seek a prearranged appointment by making a call to the local tax office or contacting the HMRC through their website and requesting an online appointment.

How Do I Find My Tax District And Reference Number?

Your tax district number is a three-digit number that appears before your ten-digit Unique Tax Payer Reference (UTR). The purpose of this number is to indicate the location of the HMRC office where your tax records are kept so that it is convenient to update and review records while communicating with them. You can find your tax district number in any correspondence held with the HMRC with regards to UTR or Corporation Tax.

You will need a tax district number if you file your tax returns under the self-assessment system.

What Is My TIN Number?

The HMRC issues two TIN-like numbers to members of the public. The purpose and use of these are described below:

The Unique Tax Payer Reference (UTR): This is a ten-digit set of numbers issued by the HMRC to individuals and businesses who qualify for paying tax returns in the UK. You will find this number on the front page of the tax return (form SA100 or CT600). In addition to this, you will find it on a “Notice to complete Tax Return” (form SA316 or CT603) or a Statement of Account. It is also printed next to the headings of “Tax Reference”, “UTR” or “Official Use”; but the appearance and terms that are used will depend on the type of document issued.

The National Insurance Number (NINO): This includes two letters which are followed by six numbers and then only one of the letters between A, B, C and D. Individuals residing in the UK will be issued a NINO once they are 16 years of age. They will be informed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) or the HMRC. If you are an employee, you will find this number on your payslip as well as on a Statement of Account issued by HMRC. It links individuals to their records of national insurance contributions, tax payments, student loans as well as social security benefits.

What Is My Tax Code?

Tax codes are a combination of letters and numbers that determine the amount of income tax due on an individual. While the letters indicate your financial position and how it relates to your personal allowance, the numbers tell your employer or pension provider the amount of tax-free income that you are eligible for in that tax year.

For instance, 1257L (currently the most common 2021-22 tax code in the UK) refers to the new Personal Allowance rate for 2021-22, which is £12,570 and the letter “L” indicates that the individual is entitled to this amount of tax-free income. Any taxes that are to be charged will be above additional amounts beyond this figure.

To confirm your tax code, you can check any of the below-listed documents:

Payslip
P45 form
P60
PAYE coding notice
Pension advice slip
