Self Assessment and Class 2 NI

Hi! I have applied for maternity allowance and my they denied my claim..my question is..do I have to pay class 2 national insurance number if I worked as self employed and did not had more than 12500£ per year? Don’t undestand the reason they didn’t approved my claim as didn’t received any decison or something.thank you

Hi,

We cannot comment on your maternity allowance as this is not a tax matter.  

If your net profit is £6725 or above, then you are required to pay class 2 National Insurance contributions of £3.45 per week, £179.40 per year.

Thank you.
