Agency want a UTR number entering into their timesheet portal

Have you asked them ?

**SeanT** · 2 June 2017, 19:27

No. I suspect they'll tell me to enter my personal UTR though...

New (ish) reporting regs, right?

Reporting regs don't require a UTR.

Make one up. An NI number is all they need.

Thank you

- this was their justification for asking. I'll just keep ignoring the prompt when I go into the timesheet portal.

The only circumstance they might need it is if you are Inside IR35 and they are making a deducted payment to you.

I have a hunch we may use the same agency.

Just ignore the prompts, I've been doing it for a year.
