Hi

Yes, you can pay voluntary Class 2 National Insurance contributions (NICs) for the 2023-24 Tax year as long as you are in gainful self-employment. Gainful employment is when someone has the desire, hope or intention of achieving remuneration or profit for their services and efforts from any trade, business, profession, office or vocation. When you complete your self-assessment return you will need to tick the box to pay voluntary contributions. In future, when you cease self-employment you will need to record the date you ceased self-employment on your SA return and also inform the National Insurance Office. You will not be able to pay voluntary Class 2 NICS after you cease self-employment. However, you would be able to pay voluntary Class 3 NICs.

Hope this helps

Thank you


 

Hi

Thank you for your enquiry. The definition of work is that you were an employed earner, or self-employed earner, or seeking work and claiming unemployment benefit.
I can confirm that this would not include unpaid voluntary work.

Thanks

Hi yelly1111

The team that issue the A1s are currently dealing with online applications received on March the 12th.  I am unable to trace applications on the forum, therefore in order to find out if your certificate has been issued, or if further information is required you should contact the National Insurance helpline

Thanks
 

Hi darengr

You can register for self employment if you earn under 1000, you will need to complete the box that your profits re over £1000 to allow you to complete, then check the option to pay voluntary contributions.  Once you complete your figures, they will show that your profits are less than £1000 but will allow you to pay voluntary.

Thanks
