Hello,
just some questions regarding filling out the CF83 Application Form (Application to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions abroad)
On section 6 Question 32 of the form: Application to pay voluntary contributions. It gives several options to choose by which method to pay:-
Direct Debit or Six Monthly Direct Debit ( neither of these options will be open to me as they state it is not possible to pay by direct debit for gaps for previous tax years or for Class 3 contributions – some of my contributions will have to be at Class 3 rate).
Annual Payment
Payment via agent (whereby payment can be made through a UK bank account of family members or relatives etc in UK).
On the NI38 guidance notes for this sections it states:
"Annual payment allows you to pay National Insurance contributions for a complete tax year, once a year in arrears, direct to HMRC. If you want to pay by annual payment, select this option on CF83 when you apply".
Is the annual payment option the one to select for paying for previous periods and for future ongoing periods? Particularly for past gap years? If I wanted to pay a lump sum to cover some gaps?
Are these payment options on the CF83 Application Form set in stone at the initial application stage? Is there any flexibility? As the payment via agent would be useful for me to pay gap years through a relative's in UK bank account and then making future contributions every year myself from Ireland.
I’m not clear on this. Just wondering if anyone who may have made an application knows about this before I face a potential lengthy wait time to get through to HMRC. Any information / advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
