HMRC Admin 8 Response

Hi,
You may request an extension for your current Certificate using the same form after you have received it.
It is advisable to offer the caseworkers detailed explanations and relevant supporting documents that may be unique to your situation for an extension. Therefore, it would be beneficial to reach out to the International Caseworkers to clarify your circumstances, enabling them to inform you of the specific information they will need from you.
Additionally, you are not required to wait for a response from the caseworkers before submitting your initial application; you can also include as much information about why you need an extension with your initial submission.

Hi,
If you are taking early retirement and not being employed or in receipt of a benefit, you can pay voluntary National Insurance before the tax year you reach state pension age.
You can only pay for a tax year once it has been completed if you have undertaken any employment or received any benefits with the tax year and you cannot pay for future tax years. A tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April.
You can check your state pension forecast:
Check your State Pension forecast once you have verified your identity for a personal tax account. 
With the pending deadline to pay voluntary National Insurance for older tax years on 5 April 2025, you can register you interest with DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) if you need to - Contact the Future Pension Centre 
DWP will advise you if any older tax years can be paid before the deadline and if they will assist your requirements to reaching 10 qualifying tax years.
If you no longer live in the UK, you will need to complete form CF83 and review the NI38 paying voluntary National Insurance from abroad.
The deadline also applies for 05/04/2025 for overseas tax years. Social Security abroad: NI38
Thank you.



 

Hi,
If you or your partner have not claimed Child Benefit, no National Insurance credits are applicable.
If your husband was a high earner, you still needed to apply for Child Benefit.
You can check your National Insurance account via the Personal tax account: sign in or set up 
To receive National Insurance credits, you need to be in receipt of the associated benefit that applies.
There is the option to pay voluntary National Insurance for any tax years where you have not been employed or in receipt of a benefit.
To pay voluntary National Insurance for older tax years 2006/07 to 2016/17, there is a deadline of 5 April 2025 – due to an increased demand you can also register an interest with the Department for Work and Pensions to ensure paying for older tax years will increase you state pension accordingly.

Thank you.

Hi,
When you do return to the UK to work please let us know that you have returned as you will no longer be able to pay the voluntary class 2 National Insurance contributions.  
Your UK employer will deduct class 1 National Insurance contributions from your salary for your period of employment in the UK.
 When you do return overseas then please submit a new CF83 application form and we will be able to help you further about paying voluntary contributions whilst overseas.
Thank you.

Hi,
If you could complete our form CF83 then we will be able to provide you with details of any voluntary National Insurance contributions that you may wish to make.  
As long as we receive your CF83 application form before 5 April 2025 then you will be given extra time to make any payments that you may wish.
If you have already completed the CF83 and wish to make a payment of voluntary contributions then details of how to make these are available via:  Pay voluntary Class 3 National Insurance
