Hi, As a UK citizen, I have a NINO of numbers and letters, but letters are not accepted when I fill out the forms required?

Please can you help?

Many thanks,

J

    Hello @JMH1

    Happy to help and welcome to our community!

    For non-U.S. instructors, your TIN will be the taxpayer identification number issued by your local government. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) provides a helpful page in English here that details the names and formats that various countries use as TINs.

    Here is the UK TIN description. Hope this helps!

    Kind regards!

    Hi @JMH1

    I remember using the UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference) rather than the NINO.

    Here is the guidance from OECD UK-TIN.pdf

    It does suggest using either the UTR or the NINO, but I think UTR worked for me as it's 10 digit number rather than the NINO which is alpha numeric.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi @JMH1

    TIN is called as UTR Number and this is 10 digit number sometimes this will end with letter "K", remove this last letter when submitting your UTR.

    NINO is called National Insurance Number which is 9 digits combined with both numbers and letters, try updating your NINO without spaces and it will accept.

    Regards,

    Vineel.
