Hi, Following a call to the Future Pension Centre I was advised to do a form CF83 as I wanted to make voluntary payments for some years I was abroad (though I am now back in the UK since late 2023, in full time employment). I've received a letter detailing 8 years of shortfalls and I'd like to buy all these years. Slight problem that I want to pay but my letter told me to follow the overseas payment procedure and cite my NINO (then IC surname first initial) as a reference. The problem is that I am not overseas now and only have a UK and a Jersey bank account, so obviously I can't do an overseas transfer. My option would be to send a domestic transfer BUT instructions to do that say I'd need an 18 digit number from HMRC as a reference which I don't have.. So - can I take the simpler option and make the domestic bank transfer and just use the NI IC surname first initial reference, or am I now going to have to call up and explain all this to get an 18 digit ref number? Am I best to ring up anyway to be clear about all this - if so which number is best?

Good afternoon, I'm from Jersey, but moved to the UK four months ago for work. Am full time, PAYE. I still have my Jersey based offshore account, which will have generated a few thousand pounds in interest since I've been UK based by the end of the financial year. I've never done self assessment before, but will I have to now as a result of this being non-UK derived income? My assumption is yes. Also, as I'm a higher rate tax payer, would I still get £500 worth of allowance? Thanks
