UTR Number
Under the Criminal Finance Act 2017 - the Council can retain UTRs as part of its procedure for preventing tax evasion
This process has been adopted for all suppliers we trade with in a commercial capacity as a fraud prevention measure.
The information will be retained as part of the transaction for 6 years after the end of the last financial year and can only be shared with HMRC.
This process is being further enforced through:
- The Income Tax (Earnings & Pensions) Act 2003 as amended by Finance Act 2020 a IR35 Status Determination should be undertaken from 1 April 2021 to determine the employment status for contractors. If this determined a contractor is self-employed, proof of them holding this status is required.
- The Finance Bill 2021 will require local authorities to check that applicants for the following licences are registered for tax from April 2022:
- drivers of taxi and private hire vehicles (for example minicabs),
- operators of private hire vehicle firms, and
- dealers in scrap metal
