Hi Xindi, 

You will need to keep trying to contact our Income Tax department so that we can update this Income Tax: general enquiries

Hi Joseph,

You can find information on how to pay for the years quoted on your response letter here:
Pay Class 2 National Insurance if you do not pay through Self Assessment
•    choose the option ‘Make an online or telephone bank transfer’ and payment information is shown under the heading ‘Overseas Payments’
•    or the option ‘By cheque through the post’ if you want to send payment by cheque, you would need to send the cheque with a covering letter to
National Insurance contributions and Employers Office

Thank you.
 

Hi Naomi,

I can confirm that you are not obliged to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions for the period you were living and working in New Zealand. They are optional, and the choice is yours.
Before you decide to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions, you should check with the Future Pension centre how many qualifying years you already have, and if paying voluntary National Insurance contributions will benefit you.
You can contact them on +44 191 218 3600, lines are open from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday.
Once you have discussed this with them, and decided if you want to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions, you would need to complete the CF83 application form. This form can be found on the GOV.UK website, and leaflet NI38 will provide you with further information. Please see the following link - Social Security abroad: NI38

Thank you
 

Hi Ellen Wilson,

I can confirm that you have taken correct action by notifying your employer of your correct National Insurance number.
You do not need to notify HMRC, your employer will be able to amend any previous month's errors through their payroll.

Thank you.

Hi Nosnx,

I can confirm that the current timescale for processing an online U1 application is 3 weeks.
Applications received by HMRC on 17 April 2023, are currently being processed.
Once your application has been processed, the U1 certificate would be issued by post to your current abroad address, you would provide this on the application.

Thank you.

Hi capybara5,

If you have claimed benefit for the period you were unemployed you may be awarded credits for that period.
HMRC do not award benefit credits and you should contact the Department for Works and Pensions to confirm if you are due any credits.
More information can be found at:
Benefits - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Benefits calculators - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Thank you.

Hi Talpone93,

I can confirm that the U1 certificate will be issued to you by post, to the address you supplied on the application form.
The ‘completed’ status means that the form has been completed, if there is any further information we need, we will contact you once your application is processed.
The current timescale for processing your application is 3 weeks, applications received on 17 April 2023 are currently being processed.

Hi derek_er Chan,

If you choose to apply the property allowance of £1000.00 (box 20.2), you cannot claim anything else, this include residential property finance costs (box 44).
If you choose to claim expenses, you can claim property finance costs.  
You will need to work out which gives the most tax relief yourself, we cannot give financial advice.  
Work out how much tax relief £1000.00 gives you and then compare against the expenses and finance relief.
You can always amend your tax return (withinn 2 years) once it is submitted, should you wish to change your claim.

Thank you.

Hi Djm23,

We cannot comment on any form of calculation/example or scenario, whether fact or fiction.
We can only point you in the direction of the guidance, so that you can review the guidance and to allow you to make an informed decision.  
If, after that you still need advice, you need to employ the services of a financial adviser. 

Thank you.
