  • RE: Importing personal belongings from a deceased relative abroad?

    Hi,
    You are correct, transfer of residence relief is applicable when you are transferring your place of residence to Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) or Northern Ireland from outside the EU.
    For inherited goods, you can claim relief if you inherit goods from a deceased person and are a UK resident.

  • RE: Voluntary Contributions not appearing in my online record

    Hi Rollergirl Seven,
    We are sorry to hear you have been unable to contact an advisor to review your National Insurance record via the telephone.
    We are experiencing high call volumes for payments for voluntary National Insurance payments due to the deadline.
    As the deadline is approaching you can also write into HMRC including all the details of your enquiry.
    Then, if you chose to pay Class 2 NICs you will not have missed the deadline:
    National Insurance Contributions and Employer Office
    HM Revenue and Customs
    BX9 1AN
    Please ensure you include your name, address, National Insurance number. I would also advise you to check with the Department for Work and Pensions to see how many more qualifying years you need to achieve a full state pension.
    DWP - Future Pension Centre
    Number - 0800 731 0175
    Open - 8.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday
    Web Address - www.gov.uk/future-pension-centre
    Thank you
     
  • RE: Paying shortfalls in national insurance class 3 problems

    Hi,
    If you are paying from an overseas bank account then you must pay to the following details: 

    •    Business Identifier Code (BIC) - BARCGB22
    •    account number (IBAN) - GB49 BARC 2020 4830 9447 93
    •    account name - HMRC NIC Receipts

    The reference number you must use if you are paying from an overseas bank account is your National Insurance number followed by ‘IC’, your surname then your initial. If your bank limits you to a certain amount of characters, you should use your National Insurance number followed by ‘IC’ and as much of your surname as possible. For Example if your name is Anne Jones, you’d write the reference as QQ123456AICJONESA. If your name is John Douglas-Hamilton and your National Insurance number is QQ123456A, you’d write the reference as QQ123456AICDOUGLAS-HAMILTONJ

    However, if you are paying from a UK bank account, you must use the bank details:
    •    sort code - 08 32 20
    •    account number - 12001004
    •    account name - HMRC NIC Receipts

    The reference number you will need to use will be an 18 digit Reference number that you can get from us via telephone or webchat.
    Please find the contact details below:

  • RE: Continuing to pay NI contributions if I retire early

    Hi,
    Yes, you can voluntary pay class 3 National Insurance if you are not going to be either Working, Claiming Benefits or Self Employed.
    You could set up a Direct Debit. To do so you can either contact the helpline or webchat, please find the details below:
    Number-0300 200 3500
    Overseas-+44 191 203 7010
    Open-Monday to Friday: 8am to 6pm
    Closed on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.
    Webchat- Ask HMRC online 
    Alternatively you can fill in a form, or you can go to gov.uk to get the direct debit (DD) form by searching CA5603 then fill in the form and post it to us.
    We do advise however to speak to DWP first before making any voluntary payments to HMRC.
    DWP will clarify that you making voluntary payments will be beneficial for you.
    Please find their contact number below:
    Number-0800 731 0175
    Oversea-+44 191 218 3600
    If you were to make voluntary National Insurance payments without checking with DWP first and the payments you make have not benefited you, you will not be able to be refunded the payments.  
    Thank you.
