what is the difference between a UK Tax ID number and a National Insurance number?
No, the UK Tax Identification number (UTR) and the National Insurance (NI) number are not the same. The UTR is a 10 figure number (according to HMRC) which is used to pay taxes, particularly Self Assessment. The NI number is mostly applied in tracing national insurance contributions and the benefits it is easy to get after payments. Although both are needed in terms of taxes and employment, they are used differently. To be a worker or self-employed in UK and pay tax, you might actually require both figures.
