Will I get a letter in the post with a tax reference number to replace my temporary one?

  Written by Marc   Posted 16 September 2013

Ok when I went and got my tax reference number, the lady that helped me said it's a temporary number and that I will receive another one in the post.

I don't want to pay tax.
