Hi there, I am a non-resident landlord, and have been sending in paper forms for tax return for several years. I have created my government gateway ID and password, but couldn’t go further as I don’t have NI number and postcode. In the previous tax year, I sent email to a 3rd party commercial software, their staff replied me that NI is needed to use their software. Is this really the case? I have my UTR number, NRL number, government gateway ID and password, may I know if this information is adequate and can be used to buy software for tax return? Thank you very much.

Hi there, I am a non-resident landlord renting out 2-3 properties with an annual profit varied between £9,000 to £13,000. According to the HMRC ‘Pay Class 2 National Insurance if you do not pay through Self-Assessment’, should I make NICs Class 2 payment if the profit is £12,570 or over? Since I am a non-UK resident living overseas and I have never had any NI number/record before, please advise how to apply for the Class 2 payment. Thank you very much.
