Re: Tax office reference number

Not my topic but I spoke to HMRC and they were a bit confused on this as well. They think it's the employer's paye reference number which is 3 digits/2 letters of anything so will look like. 123/XX. Hope this helps someone. The numbers on my p60 are different and they're only for internal pay office

There are too many posts where applicants suddenly discover avoidable mistakes. Personal choice of course. Thanks again. I think I will wait till the next d...

Thank you so much! What if I don't explain that I'm not sure of the exact dates? Many applicants don't have a complete set of data and documents, or just don't remember everything. It's your choice whether to explain or not - what is good practice though is to explain where you had to make estimate...
