Class 2 National Insurance Payment for Employed Work Manually
Hello I was wondering if anyone could help. I'm working on cruise ships so I'm classed as employed. I've been advised to pay for my class 2 NI manually each year and self assessment have given me a 18 digit reference number. I've got to pay for the next 8 years so I can claim my full state pension. When should I pay for the the current year so there are no gaps in my NI. Should it be 2022/23 or 2023/24. Also how do I reference this so HMRC know which year I've paid for if that makes sense? Thank you
