Curious to see the outcome of this scenario. I've been wondering if being self-employed in Ireland is still eligible for Class 2 like it is in the UK.
he has been self employed farmer here since 2004 to date. Is a revenue tax return acceptable to show proof of employment in Ireland and would he qualify for class 2?
Sorry for late reply.No they accepted my list. I did work in the public service, don’t know if they checked I doubt it.I have sent my cf83 form off today with covering letter by registered post. I have a year to go to retirement so hopefully it will be sorted by then. The NI38 information document said to enclose proof of employment for class 2, which I did, but they may ask for more info yet.
Julia 20, Did you have get a statement from your employer?
Safer to assume it will be checked; don't tell any porkies.don’t know if they checked I doubt it.
Yes I assumed it would be checked DannBoyD, so was very accurateSafer to assume it will be checked; don't tell any porkies.
(Not suggesting you did btw!)
My understanding is that it will be treated on the basis of when the letter is received, not opened.Will they be charged at Class 2 as they will be 65 when the submission is made or Class 3 as they will be 66 when the envelope is opened.
It's highly unlikely that they will be better off using paid UK contributions to get to a full Irish SPC. It depends on the patterns of paid contributions in Ireland and UK, and voluntary contributions in the UK. Without knowing that it's difficult to advise.If you have lived or worked in another country: We will apply for a pension on your behalf to those countries covered by EU Regulations or Bilateral Agreements.
I tried to pay using Revolut but it was flagged as highly suspicious activity, I was wondering if anyone else had this experience? I abandoned it !When I sent my payment via Revolut, I put my NI number followed the letters "IC" followed by my full surname and lastly the first letter of my christian name so for example somebody called John Smith with a NI number of NY123407C would enter NY123407CICSMITHJ as the reference. I rang a couple of weeks after sending the money and told them which years the payment was for and they updated the system.
Have you registered to see what contributions you have?Would this be applicable to someone who is already retired (77)?
I pay via Revolut but only a year at a time. Never had an issue with it.I tried to pay using Revolut but it was flagged as highly suspicious activity, I was wondering if anyone else had this experience? I abandoned it !
It would be my father, he worked in London back in his 20's so over 50 years ago.Have you registered to see what contributions you have?
Thanks Danny, I will speak with him later and see if was living there for 3 years at least and take it from there.Same response really, see if you can get him registered & find his record of contributions.
Don’t forget to advise them of the new Irish IBAN, could easily be missed given its yearly.I pay via Revolut but only a year at a time. Never had an issue with it.
There a lot of payments to that HMRC account so I’m surprised flags are raised.
