HMRC Admin 10 Response

Hi
Unfortunately if you are unable to complete a new direct debit mandate due to the backlog you may wish to consider paying by annual remittance.
When you get a response to the CF83 application you will be notified of any shortfalls.  
You must confirm with the pension service prior to paying any voluntary NICs that they will increase your state pension entitlement.

 

Hi
The amount of state pension you may be entitled to is calculated by the Department for Works and Pensions (DWP).  
HMRC cannot advise on this, however we can give the amount of qualifying years you have and if you have any shortfalls due.
You are liable to pay UK national Insurance contributions up to your UK state pension age: you may only need another 8 qualifying years for obtain the full State pension amount however you will pay NI Contributions until your state pension age.
The annual amount of UK State Pension is set by the UK Government and not by HMRC or DWP.
If you defer your state pension you may find more information here:
Delay (defer) your State Pension
To pay shortfall of NICs I would check with the DWP that this will increase your UK state pension entitlement prior to paying.

Hi caseypid
I am sorry that you are still having issues with your former employer with them recording your NI number incorrectly.  
Unfortunately the P45 and payslips are issued by your Employer and HMRC cannot change any information on these documents.  
You should still keep the payslips and P45.  
Provided we have now sorted your record from our end, you would be advised to retain these anyway.  
If you have a Personal Tax account set up via the Government Gateway, you can check your National Insurance Record at any time to ensure that all your employment record is correct.  
You can also request a Statement of your National Insurance and from October this year this will include the 22/23 tax yr.  
Information for the current year is not available until the end of the tax year.  
This is why we advise to keep payslips/P45/P60.  
P60’s are a summary of your yearly employment with your employer, so this is the main evidence of NIC paid.  
If you have any queries about your NI, you can call our NI Enquiry line on 0300 200 3500 Monday – Friday 8am – 6pm.

Hi
Unfortunately without looking at your personal records, I am unable to confirm if you will be or are likely to be eligible to pay voluntary class 2 National Insurance contributions.
The current timescale for your application to be processed is 47 weeks, the department who will process your application are working on post received on 11 September 2022.
Thank you
