HMRC Admin 19 Response

Hi,

We are sorry that you have been unable to get through to the National Insurance Helpline due to the large volume of telephone calls that have been generated due to the extension to the 31 July 2023 for payment of voluntary NI contributions to enhance your State Pension.

You will be pleased to know that the time limit has now been extended to 5 April 2025 for payment of voluntary NI contributions.

If you have sent in cheques, please ensure that you have noted the back of the cheque with your National Insurance number and enclose a covering letter to explain what the payment is for.

Thank you.
 

Hi Tigercrab,

As this is hypothetical and based on future events, HMRC are unable to comment as legislation could change, as could individuals plans.

Thank you.

Hi Jane Brennan,

You can check how long we are currently taking to deal with your post here:

Check when you can expect a reply from HMRC

Even if your CF83 is not dealt with prior to the July deadline, we accept the date it was received, so if you are eligible to pay voluntary contributions, you will still be able to pay.

Thank you
