HMRC Admin 20 Response

Hi classwho,
You may continue to pay voluntary class 2 National Insurance overseas until the date that you end employment/self-employment.  
After your overseas employment/self-employment end, you may continue to pay voluntary class 3 contributions.  
You should let us know when your overseas employment/self-employment ends.
You may wish to obtain a State Pension Forecast via Check your State Pension forecast which will detail your current and future entitlement to a State Pension.
Thank you.

Hi Lisa H,
To check your entitlement to a UK State Pension please obtain a State Pension Forecast via Check your State Pension forecast
Thank you.

Hi Silence,
This will be a voluntary payment that you can choose to pay, for a year where you have a shortfall in your National Insurance records.
Anything shown as ‘voluntary’ is not a bill and it is your choice whether you choose to pay the voluntary National Insurance contribution or not. 
Thank you.

Hi SeamusD,

Hi Ruth Garcia,
A person is only able to pay voluntary contributions from their Date of Entry into the UK National Insurance scheme.  
As you’ve advised that you came into the UK in 2015 then you may pay National Insurance contributions only from that tax year.
Thank you.

Hi Scrogs,
You will need to direct your question to The Pension Service as they are responsible for the calculation and payment of the State Pension.  
Their telephone number is:  0800 731 0469.
Thank you.

Hi brianbales,

The number of qualifying tax years to achieve a full State Pension differs for everyone depending on their work history.

Hi Moideen Kunju Abdul Rahim,
If your wife was not employed or self-employed overseas then she will not be entitled to pay the voluntary class 2 contributions, she may, however, pay voluntary class 3 contributions.  
If she could send us a letter to detail her period overseas (from … to …) and the country involved, we will be able to update her National Insurance account and detail any voluntary contributions that she may pay.  She should also include her National Insurance Number and address.
Before deciding to pay voluntary contributions I would ask that she obtains a State Pension Forecast which will detail her current and future entitlement to a State Pension and will explain if it is worthwhile to pay voluntary contributions.  She may obtain this from: Check your State Pension forecast
Thank you.
 

Hi and Tea,
Your payment should be shown on your National Insurance records by now.
Please contact the National Insurance helpline and an advisor will be able to check your records to make sure your payment has transferred from your Self-assessment records to your National Insurance records correctly.
The number to ring is 0300 200 3500. Lines are open from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
Thank you.
 

Hi Tom Evans,
The share that you declare the rental property in does not have to match the actual ownership share so your understanding appears correct.
For further info please refer to Property Income Manual PIM1030 - Introduction: jointly owned property & partnerships
Thank you.
