Tax and Social References
We'll need these references before you can start work. You can find them on your payslip from a previous job.
The tax reference — not to be confused with a tax coding — is in the format 1Y 123456. Confusingly the second character can be the letter O, so a lot of people's tax references start 0O (zero‑O). Please check carefully before entering it.
If you're married, you and your partner may have had the same tax reference, depending on whether you were jointly assessed, until the end of 2022. From 1/1/23 onwards you'll have a separate tax reference.
Your social security reference is your "GY number".
If you are unsure of either of these numbers please call the Revenue Service on 225700.
If you're new to Guernsey, we cannot pay you using your UK National Insurance number. You'll need to register with the Revenue Service, or by visiting Edward T Wheadon House.
