I have searched and searched and searched for my brother's income tax number and also his NHS number and cant find them anywhere. I know he paid tax on his shares but no one seems to be able to help me. will they grant probate without them or are there going to be complications?
I meant National Insurance No. sorry. He was a solicitor so was self employed.

The income tax number appears on all documents received from the Inland Revenue. It would also be in the possession of your brother's employer if he had one.

Alternatively, a taxpayer's records can be found with his or her National Insurance number.

Failing that, you submit the IHT and probate forms without any number but with an attached explanation.

You can get help from the Inland Revenue on 0845 302 0900
There's some information at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cto/pa1.htm

Very few people know, or keep a record of, their NHS number. You can find that on your brother's birth certificate (assuming he was born in the UK); otherwise from his NHS GP.
