RE: Paid Voluntary NI contributions - How long is updating of the online NI records taking?
Hi Marilyn Summers,
These payments need to be manually applied to the NI record.
Due to the approaching deadline for the payment of NICs on a voluntary basis for years prior to 2016-17 we are receiving an extremely high volume of payments. The area that deal with the allocations are currently working on payments received on 20/09/22.
If you call the NI Helpline, the advisor you speak to will be able to confirm receipt of your payment and allocate it for you.
The number is 0300 200 3500 (Monday to Friday: 8am to 6pm. Closed on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays).
Thank you.

RE: Split year treatment
Hi RL,
No.
The income arose in the period that was overseas, so should not be included.
This would be the same for pensions relating to the overseas period paid after the overseas period ended.
You would count your 91 days from the date you arrived in the UK.
The accommodation tie guidance can be found at (RDRM11550 - Residence: The SRT: Accommodation tie).
You would be considered tax resident from 26 Aug, as that is the date you arrived in the UK.
Thank you.
