and Tea

In November 2023 I paid voluntary contributions via self assessment for. 22/23 tax year. HMRC didn’t allocate the payment so I’ve contacted this month and the advisor said it would be moved to 22/23 tax year as paid but it’s showing as 23/24! I’ve literally just paid 23/24 voluntary contributions, which isn’t the same amount as 22/23. Is it likely the payment for 23/24 will be allocate to 22/23 or will I have to contact HMRC? Given it’s taken almost a year to get this far and I was advised 23/24 won’t get looked at until February 2025. I’ve only got 25/26 and 26/27 tax years to get full NI before pension.

I paid £163.80 through self assessment 22/23 in September 2023 but still not showing on my ni account. How long does it take as still showing as paid £163.80 on my tax account?. Thanks

My wife is confused about why her tax code has been reduced to 1050L P60 income for 22/23 was £10444 tax code 1238L and savings interest £470 P60 income for 23/24 was £10882 tax code 1226L and savings interest £1830 She’s logged into her HMRC to check her NI and realised that in November her tax code was reduced to 1085L and has been reduced again for 24/25 to £1050. She’s had no letters from HMRC or emails advising there’s a change to her tax code and can’t get through on the phone to enquire. Every time she contacts HMRC she’s cut off after 30 minutes. annual salary is £10654, interest is £1711 and total income is £23 over the personal tax allowance and now she’ll be paying tax on and doesn’t appear to be allowed any of the £5000 starting rate for tax allowance? She’s under the impression £10654 salary, £1711 interest and as her total income is under £17570 she qualifies for starting rate for savings? Is she incorrect in her understanding how the starting rate for savings works? Any help appreciated! Thank you
