national insurance gaps 2021-2022 2022-2023

I have just checked my state pension due in 2031 and seen that I have 2 gaps 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. Will I have to pay for these gaps by 2025 or can I wait till nearer 2031

Hi Ian,
The amounts shown on your Personal Tax Account for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 tax years should be received by 5 April 2025 otherwise the amount required may be due at a higher rate.
The amount may increase each 6 April until 5 April 2028 when it will no longer be able to pay for the 2021-2022 tax year and increase each 6 April until 5 April 2029 when it will no longer be able to pay for the 2022-2023 tax year.
Thank you.
