But be prepared to be on hold for a while!! You will need info to get past security!! Good luck, let us know how long you were on hold for:)

Were you contracting to someone in the construction industry by any chance?

There was a big change a few years ago to try to combat tax avoidance through cash payments etc. If you work for a company registered under CIS they will need your UTR number to enable them to pay you the full invoice without deducting tax at source.

If you don't have a UTR number then they are legally obliged to stop 20% off your invoice and pay it directly to HMRC, if they forget to stop it they're still liable for the tax....
