HMRC Admin 19 Response

Hi,
You will need to review article 14 of the UK / Hong Kong tax treaty. It advises that you are taxable in the UK on your employment income from Hong Kong, because you are in the UK, not Hong Kong, when you do this work.
Hong Kong: tax treaties
The SA102 should show your Hong Kong employment and, where tax is paid in Hong Kong, you also declare the income and foreign tax deducted and claim a foreign tax credit.
Thank you.

Hi,
We would usually say that in order for a property owner to be gainfully employed for self-employed NI contribution purposes, their property management activities must extend beyond those generally associated with being a landlord.
You can see guidance here:
NIM74250 - Class 2 National Insurance contributions: special cases: property and investment income
If you are still unsure, please write to us with as much information as possible:

Hi Britcanada,

Please contact your bank with this query as you are using their systems to arrange payment of voluntary National Insurance contributions to us. Your bank may be able to do the transfer to us on your behalf. Our reference number should be quoted on your bank transfer so that we know that the payment is for your National Insurance account.

Thank you.

Hi,
If you are coming to the UK to work you will pay National Insurance contributions if you earn above the lower earning limit. 
You can only claim a UK State Pension when you reach UK State Pension age and also meet the minimum requirements of 10 Years contributions.
HMRC can not confirm a persons entitlement to a UK state pension.
We are unable to comment on an individual case on this forum. 
Thank you.

 

Hi,

You can register as self employed here:

Check how to register for Self Assessment

If you are already registered, then when you complete your Self Assessment tax return you can opt to pay the class 2 NI contributions voluntarily.

Thank you.
 

Hi,

Yes, when you complete the form, please include your actual residential address, which can be anywhere in the world. This address will be noted on your Nattional Insurance record and we will write to you at that address.

Thank you.

Hi,

If you can omit the last letter of your surname from the reference, that should still work.

Thank you.
