  • Re: Correct HMRC Bank details for Voluntary 2 Contributions

    Hi,
    If you are paying from a UK Bank account please make the payment(s) of class 2 and/or class 3 for the periods 2007-2023 to sort code - 08 32 20 account number - 12001004 account name - HMRC NIC Receipts.
    We would advise to make class 2 payments separate to class 3 however. Both class 2 and class 3 are paid to the same bank details and the reference number you create for yourself.  
    Please follow the instructions on the bill you have just received for 2023/24 and make the payment for 2023/24 to sort code - 20 20 48 account number - 30944793 account name - GBS Re NICO Receipts HMRC. 
    Regarding your question about paying each year of class 2 individually or as a lump sum. It doesn’t really mater how you pay.
    If you were to pay as a lump sum all tax years paid for will be posted to your account at the same time when we come around to allocating your payment. Paying individually may cause the times of each payment being posted to your account to differ.
    Thank you.

  • Re: NI Credits error

    Hi,
    You will need to ensure that your employer is using your correct national insurance number that should be on your payslips and the P60 for the tax year going forward.Your employer can amend certain tax years for you.
    If the employer has submitted incorrect details to HMRC, you need to write into HMRC with copies of the P60’s for the tax years involved and we will investigate. Please speak to your employer first as they can amend the details through the payroll for certain tax years.
    Please include your name address and national insurance number in a covering letter along with any P60’s for each tax year or payslips to:
