HMRC sent two PAYE reference

[sat]

Hi,

Have a limited company and registered as PAYE with HMRC, hmrc sent two PAYE references. Is this normal or error?
Have said the company may have max up to two directors, currently its just myself as a director. Company with two directors still need to have separate payee reference?


Thanks in advance.

I have a PAYE reference for myself. And a PAYE reference for the company.

When you say PAYE reference do you mean yourself or the company? Have you called HMRC?

No its an error and happens surprisingly often.

One needs to be cancelled and shut down and can be dealt with by a phone call to hmrc usually.

Thank you for the quick response, yes thought as an error. WIll contact HMRC for clarification and cancel the other one.

The letter address to the company not for myself so assuming the payee references are for companyes??

Indeed! But assuming is the mother of something or other!

Probably Kenny is right. But it would not surprise me if they had sent your personal reference to your company!

Why do we need personal PAYE reference, if if we already have PAYE reference for company?
