HMRC Admin 20 Response

Hi,
The dates to be applied to the form are the ones you are claiming the NI credits for.
A tax year runs 6 April to 5 April the following year.
You can only apply to end of the current tax year for the end date.
When you apply for Credits for Parents and Carers, please attach the required evidence from the local authority.
If you require the credits for future years you may need to apply each tax year depending on your circumstances.
Thank you.

Hi,
Please see the following link which explains what interest is covered by the Personal Savings Tax Allowance - Tax on savings interest
Thank you.

Hi Adele,
If your husband does not need the protection from the Home Responsibilities Protection then it may be possible to transfer this over to you.  
To do this please complete our form CF411 which you may obtain via Apply for Home Responsibilities Protection
Thank you.

Hi,
There is no transfer of social security contributions from one country to another.  
Your UK National Insurance account will only ever show the contributions that you’ve paid in the United Kingdom.  
It is possible, however, that the contributions that you’ve paid in the Republic of Ireland may help with your UK Pension entitlement.  
This is a question for The Pension Service, but at the time you make your claim to a UK Pension you would inform them that you had been in other countries
and they would do their calculations.  
It would be of benefit to speak with The Pension Service, I note that you have tried to contact them but their contact details can be found here:- Contact the Future Pension Centre
Thank you.

 

Hi,
You are unable to contribute national Insurance contributions voluntarily before the date you officially entered the UK.
Any previous countries liability will be with them for an equivalent pension in their state.
This means you may not be able to reach the maximum UK state pension.
Please call the Department for Work and Pensions - International area to discuss your overseas involvement to the UK on +44 (0) 191 218 7777.
Thank you.

Hi crystalj,
To apply to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions whilst overseas, please complete and return our CF83 application form after you have read leaflet NI38.
 Social Security abroad: NI38
Before applying to pay voluntary contributions please first obtain a State Pension Forecast.  
This will detail your current and future entitlement to a UK State Pension and you will be able to decide whether you wish to pay voluntary contributions.  
You may find this via Application for a State Pension forecast
Thank you.

Hi jerrymaker,
Details of how to pay your voluntary National Insurance contributions may be found via Pay voluntary Class 3 National Insurance
You do not have to pay all of the tax years in one go – but we would ask that you make at least one full tax year at a time or multiple tax years at a time.  
Please bear in mind the time limits for your voluntary contributions to reach us.
When we receive your payment we will arrange for it to be allocated to your National Insurance account, it will then reflect on your Personal Tax Account.  
If we have not allocated your payment as you wished then you may wish to call our National Insurance Helpline on 0300 200 3500 (from the UK) or +44 191 203 7010 (from overseas) and they will be able to help further.  
We would ask that you wait at least 10 working days from sending your payment before you call our Helpline to allow for your payment to be shown on your account.
To check how many tax years that you need to pay to reach a full State Pension, please call the Future Pension Centre on 0800 731 0175 (from the UK) or +44 191 218 3600 (from overseas) and they will be able to help you about this.
Thank you.

Hi,
An individual’s Personal Tax Account will always show any shortfalls of voluntary National Insurance contributions at the class 3 rate.  
If you have received an annual request for payment for the 2023-2024 tax year then please use this to make any payments of voluntary contributions as this should be at the class 2 rate.
If you do not receive annual requests for payment then please complete and return our CF83 application form and you may either pay your voluntary contributions by direct debit (through a UK or Channel Islands bank account) or by annual payment.  
Please read leaflet NI38 ‘Social Security Abroad’ before completing the CF83 see:- Social Security abroad: NI38
Thank you.
