Register for UTR

[hasawan]

Hi,

I am asking a question for my brother who started doing amazon flex deliveries last year July 2023. Does he needs to register for UTR? If so how to register for one?

Thanks,
Haseeb

I believe Amazon Flex Delivery Drivers are Self Employed.

If this is true of your brother then the link below provides information on how to Register with HMRC as Self Employed and Self Assessment.

Self Assessment tax returns

Self Assessment tax returns - deadlines, who must send a tax return, penalties, corrections and returns for someone who has died.

When Registered as Self Employed your brother will be given a UTR ( Unique Taxpayer Reference ).

I suggest your brother makes enquiries with Amazon before Registering because it is possible that he may have needed to Register during the onboarding process with Amazon last July. Does he recall?

Amazon Flex Delivery Drivers normally use the Amazon Flex App where they have an Earnings Section. Does that not need a UTR to set up? He should check out the Amazon Flex App to make sure he is not already sorted.

Your brother will need a National Insurance Number in order to Register as Self Employed for Self Assessment.

The deadline for Registering is 5th October and the Tax Return deadline is 31st January.
