    Class 2 NIC query

    Thankyou. Yes I've now claimed the trading allowance rather than expenses. I am a gardener, apart from gloves and a few hand tools I rarely need anything else.

    Class 2 NIC query

    Yes that's correct. For the 23-24 tax year if profits are over £12570 (which mine are) I am required to pay class 2 NIC. But it was still showing my Class 2 NIC owed is £0. I discovered I had to click a link to confirm my self employed status. Once I had confirmed this I pressed the...

    I’m a part time sole trader, I’ve completed my tax return for 2022 - 2023. my income after expenses was just over 15k. my total bill has come to around £950 tax/ national insurance to pay. I’m confused because it says I owe this amount but my “payments on account” is £0.00 so I don’t need to...
