Hi I get paid less than £242 a week in my main job, so I don't pay any N.I from this job, and I don't claim any other benefits. I sometimes have a second job as zero hours, that is a self employed job. Will I pay class 2 N.I rate? I will not earn more than £12,570 from this job either. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
If you are working as Self Employed in your second job and are registered for Tax and National Insurance as self-employed, you should be completing Self -Assessment returns.  If you earn above the Small Profit Threshold for paying NI, you will pay Class2 NIC through Self-Assessment.  
If you do not earn enough (you are below the Small Profit Threshold) you may be able to make Voluntary Class2 NICs to maintain your NI record for Pension purposes.
You can find out more about being Self Employed and Registering for Self-Assessment at:

Thank you.
