RE: How to Pay Voluntary National Insurance Contributions from Abroad
Hi,
If your wife is employed or self-employed abroad, she may be eligible to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions at the class 2 rate. She will need to complete the CF83 application form for us to check if she is eligible or not. Please see notes within the NI38 (Social Security Abroad) which outlines the conditions that need to be met to pay at the class 2 rate.
Social Security abroad: NI38
Thank you. -
RE: Paid Voluntary NI contributions - How long is updating of the online NI records taking?
Hi,
For customers over State Pension Age, once a payment is allocated to the National Insurance record, an electronic update is passed to the DWP. It is then up to them to ascertain if any change is due to the state pension and take appropriate action. The date we received the payment will be taken into account when any increase is calculated.
We are unable to advise how quickly this takes place and you will need to contact the Pension Service team for this information.

Thank you.

RE: Expenses (e.g. council tax, insurance) during time a rental property was empty awaiting sale?
Hi,
PIM 2510 states that if the property business only consisted of letting a single house, it would cease when the tenant left and the customer began to use the house as a private residence or, alternatively, when they decided the house would not be re-let.
If the house is put up for sale the intention is not to continue the rental business and related expediture, council tax, domestic bills, would not be allowable against the letting income up to cessation. A property could be up for sale for a considerable time and HMRC would not subsidise the related expenses.
Thank you. -
RE: How to manage someone's tax account online as Power of Attorney
Hi Kate Homer,
This can only be done if the verification is passed allowing your mum to access the personal tax account. After this stage you request help and the request is sent to the other persons personal tax account.
Thank you.
