Reading the wiki would be a good place to start 
Welcome.
Yes, you need a tax number - this will be generated as soon as you register at the town hall as a resident, as you must do by law within 5 working days of your rental contract starting.
I won't say that they won't pay a salary into a British bank account, I have just never known them to do so in all my time here. So it's wise to sort one out, and yes, you will need your tax number (called BSN) in order to do so.
Good luck with the move and the flathunting.
