Ending Class 2 National Insurance

[gmcom]

Hi Everyone,

Having been self employed for the past few years, i took on a full time job in March and have stopped working for myself. My understanding was this meant i could stop paying voluntary national insurance (as i pay NI through my employment). A few months ago my bank details changed and this terminated the payments to HMRC for the NI contributions, I didn't restart them as I had intended to cancel the NI payments and stop paying it anyway. Now I have a letter for the requesting the amount of NI i should of paid over those months.

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for cancelling these NI payments, and also does anyone know if I can backdate this cancellation and not pay have to pay the months since March? My Self employment earnings this year should essentially be £0.

If I can't back date this I assume I just need to pay it and then try reclaim it after submitting my tax return for this year?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Graeme

Just call them up and say you stopped trading on X date (backdated should be fine), they're normally pretty good about it all.

I recently rang HMRC to tell them i'm currently not self employed, and they took a few details, and immediately cancelled the bill. They couldn't have been more helpful.

Google CA8480 - that's the form you need to fill in and send off if you're reclaiming Class 2 NICs.

Fill in the date you ceased self-employment, they'll figure it all out and send you a cheque for what they owe you.
