Re:Additional 3 years of contributions due to a bug
Hi,
Unfortunately we are unable to give a specific response to you via this Forum.
We can give a general explanation of this issue and would advise that you write to our Individuals Caseworker Team who can look into your record and provide you with a suitable response based on your circumstances.
Until 5 April 2010, to protect the National Insurance(NI) records of students who stayed in full time education for tax years commencing on or after 6 April 1975, regulation 4 (of the Social Security Regulations 1975) allowed a customer to be credited with Class 3 NICs, which count for State Pension purposes.
These starting credits (Juvenile credits) could be awarded for the full three tax years containing their 16th, 17th and 18th birthdays, whether or not the young person was in full time education, and were automatically recorded on the National Insurance and PAYE Service(NPS) account.
This will then be reflected through your Personal Tax Account when you view your NI record. However, the conditions for these credits are that you must have been resident in UK at the time the credits are awarded and registered for a UK NI account.
If you come from abroad and your Date of Entry into the UK scheme falls after these years, there will be a Flag set on the system to allow the “discounting” of these credits and have them removed.
The Personal Tax Account view of your NI record may still reflect these credits until they have actually been removed.
The address to write to for specific confirmation is:

Re:Gaps in NI contributions due to working in Switzerland for 4 years
Hi,
We are unable to advise you on any payments of tax, you would need to contact the tax office for information surrounding tax paid in the UK or another country.
Their contact number is 0300 200 3300, their lines are open from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
We can confirm that National Insurance contributions paid in Switzerland cannot be transferred to your UK National Insurance records.
If you want to enquire about paying voluntary National Insurance contributions, you would need to contact HMRC and provide your National Insurance number so we can look into your personal records.
HMRC will be able to tell you if there are any years where you can pay voluntary National Insurance contributions, how much they would be and how to pay.
However HMRC cannot confirm if paying voluntary National Insurance contributions for particulars years, will increase your pension or not.
You will need to contact the Department for Work and Pensions to find this out before sending any payments to HMRC.
Further information can be found here:
Voluntary National Insurance: Gaps in your National Insurance record.
Thank you.

Re:Receipts and VAT codes
Hi.
If you incur expenses and you don't have the VAT invoice to be able to reclaim as input tax then they would still need to be reflected on box 7 of the VAT return as a purchase.
I would confirm the correct accounting codes with the software provider.
Thank you. -
Re: VAT rate - foreign companies
Hi.
We are not too familiar with specific accounting codes but this does sound correct.
You may just want to confirm this with the software provider.
Thank you. -
Re:Can a foreign company find their VAT number before the certificate arrives?

Re:Reimbursing civil service expenses.
Hi,
In order for a transaction to attract VAT then there needs to be a supply for a consideration.
If there is no supply for a consideration then no VAT would be added.
However please see the following guidance:
Calculate VAT if you supply staff
Thank you
