  • RE: Paying Class 2 contributions methods

    Hello HMRC I have spoken to the DWP who have confirmed that I have two gaps in my contribution history before 2006 that I can fill by April 2029 I currently pay Class 4 and Class 2 through self assessment (by being self employed) Can you please advise how I should pay voluntary Class 2 contributions to fill the gaps? The links I can see on HMRC's website arrive at a page entitled 'pay Class 2 National Insurance if you do not pay through Self Assessment' - this isn't appropriate in my circumstances, as I do pay Class 2 through self assessment Can you please also confirm whether it's my current circumstances that govern the type of voluntary contributions that I pay, or my circumstances at the time of the gaps
