I've recently taken on a client, husband of an existing client. He's not worked in the UK for about 6 years (wife's a high flyer in the FCO and so has been posted abroad and he's gone with her).
He's now got some rental income which needs declaring (although probably below the tax threshold) - how do I go about getting him a tax reference?

Non resident landlord
You will probably have to consider getting him to join the NRL scheme otherwise the tenant will have to deduct tax from his rentals if he is not UK tax resident - see link http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/international/nr-landlords.htm

SA1 Form
Yes that is the form
However it seems to take 3-6 months for the system to roll into action.
In the last year three new clients has submitted the form the average time taken for a SA number was well over three months
So earlier the better
