HMRC Admin 19 Response

Hi Kelvin Beer-Jones,

The best, and most convenient way to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions is by contacting National Insurance team.  

National Insurance: general enquiries

Our lines are very busy at the moment, however as the deadline has been extended, this should mean, that everyone has a chance to contact us.

Once you obtain the 18 digit reference you can then use this number to pay online, at your bank, or via online banking.

Thank you.
 

Hi Rafal,

We would not recommend using the details mentioned as a reference number. Please contact our National Insurance team helpline on to obtain the correct reference number. 

National Insurance: general enquiries

The deadline for paying Voluntary National Insurance contributions for years 2006 to 2007 to 2016 to 2017 has been extended to 31 July 2023.

If you are unable to contact us before then the alternative is to send in a cheque. This should be payable to HM Revenue and Customs only and we suggest you note your National Insurance number and the years you are paying on the reverse, as well as including a covering letter with this information. This should be sent to:

HM Revenue and Customs
National Insurance Contributions and Employer Office
BX9 1AN

Thank you.

Hi kristine Hane,

If your details match it could be that the system does not hold enough information to be able to ask you verification questions. We cannot be sure as we are unable to access your record from this forum.

Thank you.

Hi,

We are sorry to hear you are having this issue.

Please contact our VAT team so that we can refer your case over to the team who are looking in to this.

It has not affected all new VAT registered businesses.

Thank you.

Hi ElectricianInOxforshire,

The 0% VAT rate only applies to the installation of energy saving materials and would not apply to the scaffolding as these are not in themselves energy saving materials and so the scaffold service would need to be invoiced at 20%.

You can see the guidance here:

Installations of energy-saving materials

Thank you.

Hi Akinlami

Sorry, we can only answer questions appropriate to HMRC on this forum.

Thank you.

Hi,

As a UK national and resident, you are liable to tax in the UK, arising on all your worldwide income and gains.

Article 17 of the UK / Australia double taxation agreements advises, that Australian pensions, including Australian government pensions paid to the resident of the UK, are taxable only in the UK. You can see information here:

UK/ Australia Double Taxation Convention

 Your Australian pension, should be declared in a Self Assessment tax return.  

You should also contact the Australian tax authorities, to find out how to claim a repayment of any tax paid in Austrlia, as the pensions are not taxable in that country. A foreign tax credit can be claimed in your Self Assessment tax return for foreign tax paid.

Thank you.
