Note that the first time I rang them was mid-August. They said it would be fixed online within a few weeks. It still isn't.Thanks
I’ll ring in 2 weeks or so if it isn’t updated online. Hopefully it will be updated online so I won’t have to
Do you think Revolut would be a good option?As an Irish resident it's probably best from a fees perspective to open an account with a fintech that has both sterling and euro wallets.
You will get a UK account number for the sterling wallet. Payments from HMRC go into this. You make the transfer to the euro wallet in the app at a very low commission and spend/withdraw/transfer as you please in Ireland.
The alternative is you give HMRC your IBAN for your bank account in Ireland. I don't know the details but bricks-and-mortar banks charge fees and higher commission for transfers in sterling. Fintechs will save you a lot over the course of a retirement.
I’ve used Wise and Revolut to make contributions.Do you think Revolut would be a good option?
Crazy that it's taking 40 weeks to update isn't it. I should be about the end of Jan so. Will almost be time to make the next payment by the time this one clears!Just a quick update and thank again for people on here.
Eventually rang and eventually got through to hmrc who confirmed payment in respect of backdated contributions received (class 2), guided 40plus weeks before updated on line.
Think both myself and other half have now 23 odd years contributions and will pay class 2 contribution till retirement, assuming uk doesn’t go bankrupt and we don’t pop our clogs in the meantime, it will be a very welcome boost to retirement income
Thanks again for advice on here
