HMRC Admin 20 Response

Hi Tony,
We are currently dealing with a high volume of voluntary payments.
The timescales depend on the circumstances of your payment and the National Insurance class.
If you paid for an abroad period it can take up to 29 weeks to allocate the payment to your record, if it is a domestic Class 2 payment it can take up to 29 weeks and a domestic Class 3 payment can take up to 8 weeks (based on the automated system allocating the amounts).
The domestic Class 3 payments can also be allocated over the phone, if you’d like to call us on 0300 200 3500 to do so.
However, abroad payments and Class 2 payments take 29 weeks, due to the high volume of other payments in the queue needing to be allocated.
Thank you.

Hi,
A chattel is defined as anything which is tangible moveable property.  
Please have a look at CG76550 onwards (CG76550 - Chattels: introduction) for more information.  
There is no chargeable gain on the disposal of a single chattel (tangible moveable property) if the gross consideration does not exceed £6,000.
Thank you.

Hi David,
You do not need to pay for all of the years quoted on your record, even though it may be beneficial, you can select specific years.
To discuss any impact the payments have on your state pension, please call the Future Pension Centre on +44 (0)191 218 3600.
Before making any voluntary payments, we recommend speaking to the Future Pension Centre for advice on whether the years you are paying for will boost your pension entitlement. 
Thank you.

Hi,
If you are/were an approved foster parent, foster carer or kinship carer, you can complete and return form CF411A which you can download in the following linklink
CF411A – Application form for Credits for Parents and Carers
This form is an application to apply for the National Insurance credits.
You would not need to reapply every tax year.
Thank you.

Hi,
There are no National Insurance credits, with the sole criteria of eligibility being studying at University full time, therefore, that would be correct.
If you would like to specify the years you would like your payment to be allocated to, please call us on 0300 200 3500 or contact us on our National Insurance webchat service
on the GOV.UK website’ National Insurance: general enquiries
Thank you.

Hi,
I apologise for any distress this may have caused, please call us on 0300 200 3500 to amend this.
Your son can come to the phone and update the details held on his record, if comfortable, or yourself (with prior consent from your son) can talk on his behalf and we can submit a referral.
As a result of the referral, you will either receive the National Insurance Number with the correct details on, or receive a form to complete if further information is required’ 
Thank you.

Hi,
Guidance on the change to the capital gains tax rates has still to be written.  
A calculator will be provided to calculate the gains pre 30 October and post 30 october in due course, which will determine how the
annual exempt allowance will be applied.
Thank you.

Hi,
As it is your main residence then no.
Thank you.
