Is Tax2u officially approved by HMRC?

Yes, Tax2u is a fully authorised HMRC agent, possessing the same official agent status as a registered accountant. We utilise a dedicated agent submission channel to process your registration directly into HMRC's system.

Will HMRC contact me directly after registration?

Yes. Once your application is processed, HMRC will officially issue your 10-digit UTR number and send it to your registered UK home address by post, which typically arrives within 10 working days.

What if HMRC requests more information?

As your authorised agent, Tax2u handles all correspondence and follow-ups with HMRC on your behalf. If any issues or requests for clarification arise, our experienced team manages the communication directly so you don't have to wait in phone queues or write letters.

How Tax2u Submits Your UTR Registration to HMRC

You Provide Your Details

Complete our 3-minute form with your personal details and self-employment information. That's all we need from you.

We Submit Directly to HMRC

As HMRC-authorised agents, Tax2u submits your registration into HMRC's system within 24 hours. We review every application first - HMRC receives accurate, complete data every time.

HMRC Issues Your UTR Number

HMRC sends your UTR number by post to your address in 10 working days. We monitor the application and follow up with HMRC directly if there are any delays.

Applying Through HMRC Directly vs Using an Authorised Agent - What's the Difference?

HMRC accepts UTR applications directly online or by phone - but authorised agents like Tax2u have a dedicated submission channel and can communicate with HMRC on your behalf throughout the process.

Applying directly through HMRC:

You complete and submit the form yourself
Errors or omissions cause delays - HMRC will write to you requesting corrections
You must chase HMRC yourself if there are delays (often involves lengthy phone queues)
No error-checking before submission

Applying through Tax2u as your HMRC agent:

Our team reviews your application before it goes to HMRC
We submit via our agent channel - same process HMRC-registered accountants use
We handle all HMRC correspondence and follow-up - you don't need to contact HMRC
Ongoing tax support included after your UTR is issued

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Tax2u is an HMRC-authorised agent. This means we are approved by HMRC to submit registrations, file tax returns, and communicate with HMRC directly on our clients' behalf.

HMRC will post your UTR number and activation code to your home address. As your agent, Tax2u is also copied on HMRC communications and will alert you to anything requiring your attention.

This occasionally happens when identity or address records cannot be verified automatically. Tax2u handles all follow-up with HMRC — you'll only need to supply additional documents if specifically required.

Yes. You can use Tax2u solely for UTR registration and manage your own Self Assessment returns afterwards. We also offer a full Self Assessment service if you'd prefer us to handle that too.

After receiving your UTR, HMRC posts an activation code to the same address. You use this to activate your HMRC online account at gov.uk, where you can view your tax records and file returns.
