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.
