  • RE: Identification number of NHS institution ( to complete E104 form)

    Hi Vincentd,
    From the information you have provided, it sounds like the Belgium authorities will need to request a S041 certificate from HMRC.
    Please contact the authorities in Belgium and advise them to request the SO41 by completing SED S040.
    Thank you.



     
  • RE: PAYE and Self Employed over UEL

    Hi Rebecca Foy,
    As your self employed income is over the Small Profits Threshold you may be liable for an element of Class 2 as well as Class 4 although the high Cl1 earnings will be taken into account and can reduce both Cl4 and Cl2 depending on the amount of Cl1 paid.  
    As we are unable to be specific on this Forum is best you call our NI helpline to discuss the account with specific information so a correct answer can be given.
    Thank you.
  • RE: Voluntary NI contributions - future years

    Hi Sharon2,
    Payment requests are issued shortly after the end of the tax year so if you were accepted for annual payment you would be receiving the new payment request in the next couple of weeks.  You should also be able to see this communication via your Personnal Tax Account.
    Thank you.

    Thank you.

     
  • RE: U1 Form

    Hi Alessandro Magliano,
    We are unable to check your personal records on this forum.
    If you are struggling to speak to an advisor on the National Insurance helpline, I would advise you to complete another application. 
    You can apply online or by post by completing a CA3916 application which can be found here:-  Get a PDU1 certificate or a National Insurance contributions statement Please apply using the online version for a quicker response.
    Thank you.
