  • RE: Self Assessment and Class 2 NI

    Hi anthony mccormack,
    You can only pay back to 17/18 for UK self employed persons.  
    CF83 applications are for customers abroad and the Class 2 rate of abroad NICs is not like for like with the UK SE Class 2 rate.
    There is strict criteria to pay prior to the 2017/18 tax year, we look at your full period and if you have applied for Small Earning Exception and Waiver and whether you have received a refund of Class 2 NICs during the requested period. to be able.  
    You may wish to call our NI helpline 0300 2003500 and request to pay for those tax years and depending on your NI record you may be able to pay at the Class 2 SE Rate of NICs.
    Our staff will provide you with all relevant information during your call.
    They should also advise that before making any payment prior to the 2016-2017 tax year that it will increase your UK State Pension entitlement and you must contact DWP prior to making the payment to us.
    Thank you.

  • RE: Personal Tax Account for NI contributions

    Hi Geoff Goodman,
    The 18 digit reference number is unique to you and the particular payment you are making.
    The 18 digit number you received last year will still work but it is always best to get a new reference number which relates to the payment you are making.
    Please see this link for details on how to pay and contact details to obtain a new 18 digit reference number -
    Pay Class 2 National Insurance if you do not pay through Self Assessment
    Thank you.
