Thanks for your response . I had a second query which I would appreciate clarification on. My recent letter from HMRC outlined the shortfall amount to be paid and set out the period 2006-2007 to 2023-2024 which is 18 years but my gap record online and the conversation with Pension services say I have 17 years shortfall. Which is the correct to pay 18yrs 2006 to 2024, 17yrs 2006-2023, or 17 yrs 2007-2024. Thanks

I am living in Ireland and intend to pay voluntary Class 2 NICs shortfall as advised in recent letter from HRMC . I will pay by pTSB sterling bank draft . Recent HMRC letter advises “As an overseas customer, you will need to quote your NI no when sending any payments to us. Please do not quote any other reference number shown on our correspondence as this will mean that your payment will be sent to another part of HMRC.” The pension service when I rang them said to make payable to “HMRC only” and write on the back “voluntary class 2 NIC payments, the years of payment being made, the full amount & my NI number. My query is do I need to reference my ICW reference anywhere and will HMRC accept a pTSB sterling bank draft A further query - my recent letter from HMRC outlined the shortfall amount to be paid relating to the period from 2006-2007 to 2023-2024 which is 18 years but my gap record online and conversation with Pension services said I have 17 years shortfall. Which is the correct to pay 2006 to 2024 (18yrs) or 2006-2023 (17 yrs) or 2007-2024(17 yrs). Thanks for your assistance
