Hi Mum25 Trainee,
You may wish to refer to the National Insurance Manual here with regard to your query - NIM74100 - Class 2 National Insurance contributions: special cases: examiners and moderators
This confirms that the special arrangements for invigilators apply as long as the examination will lead to any certificate, diploma, degree or professional qualification.
If you are still unsure how this relates to your particular circumstances you will need to write to us at 
HM Revenue and Customs
National Insurance Contributions and Employer Office
BX9 1AN
Please provide as much information as possible in your letter.  
I am afraid this type of enquiry cannot be dealt with over the telephone.
Thank you.

Hi Sharon2,
To use the online system you would need an 18 digit reference number.
However, if you are paying for period when you were living abroad, your reference number would be different.
You would use your National Insurance number followed by IC then your surname and initial as your reference number.
Further information on how to pay for periods when you were/are living abroad can be found here - Pay Class 2 National Insurance if you do not pay through Self Assessment
Thank you.

Hi Lulu Farrow,
Your Partner should add his last employment in the UK at question 16 of the CF83, we will be able to check his National Insurance records to see his previous employments.
We need to know the date that he left the UK, therefore he should provide the date that he left the UK to return to Australia, not his date of birth.
He can also attach a covering letter to his application to explain anything in further detail if necessary.
Please refer to the NI38 when completing the form - Social Security abroad: NI38
Thank you.



 

Hi S Starling,
HMRC cannot comment on future events as legislation and/or plans may change.
However, based on current guidance you would need to determine which property is in fact your main residence:-
CG64485 - Private residence relief: only or main residence: two or more residences: right of nomination
Thank you.

 

Hi ahurtadomontiel23 hurtado,
There are no income tax implications on the receipt of a cash gift unless the cash gift generates interest or dividends, these would then potentially be subject to tax.
Further guidance can be found here (Tax on savings interest and Tax on dividends).  
Thank you.

Hi Susie,
There is no legislative definition of a Lump Sum but HMRC regards these as being any non-periodic payment of a pension - That is, any non-regular payment that decreases the value of the remaining pension pot after such payment is made. For example, the first (IRA) withdrawal is taken in year 1, the next withdrawal was made in year 5, and another withdrawal in year 7; such payments will not be regarded as periodic and will be treated as Lump Sum’s under the UK/USA DTA. Whereas any amount withdrawn in set, periodic, frequent intervals (e.g. weekly, monthly, annually etc.) would not be a Lump Sum, but rather periodic payments. 
Thank you.
